2019 – VHF IARU

SN7L was QRV during VHF IARU R1 2019 from Śnieżka Mountain (Snezka) 1603m ASL – on the Czechia and Poland border.

We made 1080 QSO, 454500 points
AVG QRB 420km/QSO, ODX LZ7J 1113km

It was our record day – best score, best QSO number. First time on 144MHz above 1000 QSO from Poland ever! ! ! We have some chance for 1st place in Europe.

SN7L team means Matt SP7TEE, Woy SP7HKK, Zbig SP7MTU, Gabi SQ7OYG, Tom SP5XMU, Andy SO3Z, Oli SQ3SWF, Kuba SQ3PCL 🙂
We had Kenwood TS-850 with lot of modifications by SP7TEE, transverter by SP7TEE, 4x SSPA, 4x LNA, and 4 antenna systems: 2x 12el YU7EF, 12el YU7EF, 2x 6el DK7ZB, and fixed to West 4x 6el SP9FYS Yagis vertical stack.
We used Tucnak loggers in network, Airscout 1.3.0.4 with SRTM1, wtKST.

We want say big thank you to IMGW and KPN for this possibility and hospitality.
Before the contest we met on the Śnieżka other HAMs Janek SQ7AEC and Andrzej SP1WSR. They helped us with setting up our equipment.

We had not so bad weather. All equipment worked flawless. We had probably some small tropo lift over the Alps to Italy.
