Results of the 1st sub-regional 2011

Spring already traditionally belongs to the first subregional race at VHF, which is a key indicator of form before the main season for Slovak radio amateurs. After the end of the review process of the diaries, which was led by Paľo OM5CM and to which a total of 1769 competitive diaries from the states contributed IARU Region 1, we are finally happy to publish the official results list (Ver. 20110426).

This year was exceptional due to the great activity and the important consideration of the performance categories High Power (>100 W) and Low Power (<=100 W) already in the Single category, which guaranteed a fairer comparison.

Band 144 MHz: Category Single

On 144 MHz, the right combination of high altitude, superior antenna technology and experience proved to pay off.

In the category Single, High Power the sovereign championship was defended by OM5ZW with a score of 136,497 points, while his ODX (longest connection) with DL0GL reached an incredible 859 km. He was followed by OM1DK (123,305 points) and third place was taken by OM8MF (44,788 points).

But the performances in the category were particularly dramatic Single, Low Power. Even with a power limit of 100 W, excellent results were achieved. The winner was OM5LD (33,674 b.), who demonstrated that with 65 W he could do 178 QSO with an average length of 189.2 km and an ODX of 640 km! Close behind him was OM6TX (32,862 b.), which showed the strength of its location with an ODX of 731 km (DA0Y). Third place belongs to OM3R (26,971 b.).

Dominance in the Multi category and higher bands

In the category 144 MHz Multi the dominance of the station was confirmed OM8A, which with a score of 183,822 points and 518 QSOs left no one in doubt about its power and range of equipment (3 kW and extensive antennas).

On 432 MHz stations with lower power ruled, where OM3WEB (11,995 p.) won in the Single, Low Power category and OM8A again (47,032 p.) in Multi. It was also successful at 1.3 GHz, where OM5LD took first place in the Single category (1,343 points) and OM8A won in Multi (11,632 points).
