UBA DX contest 2015

This weekend I participated in the UBA DX contest.
The conditions were not very good , but I still made 27 QSO's with S&P in CW.
I could make 1 QSO with less than 100 mW, 3 QSO's with 800 mW.
The rest of the QSO's was made with 3 or 4 watts.

Rigth at the start, I heard YT1A.
Vladans signal was very strong, so I reduced my power.
With the FT-817 set to 800 mW and with the "PA1B 40 dB step attenuator" set to 10 dB,
the power to the antenna is reduced to 80 mW.
With a distance of more than 900 miles, this results in more than 11000 Miles/Watt.
This was the only QSO with less than 100 mW in this contest.

After that I made QSO's with 800 mW to 4 watts.
The FT-817 here gives less than 5 watt with full power, after a serious mismatch.
This is less than 4 watts on 14 MHz or less than 3 watts on 21 and 28 MHz.

The ribbon of the Inverted V is not yet repaired.
As long as there is no wind, all is OK . See the post on the PACC 2015 Click.
But with a wind force of 6 on the scale of Beaufort , it was not always easy. hi.
