YU DX Contest & CQ Manchester Mineira DX Contest Participation

I participated in two DX contests--YU DX Contest organized by SRS(Amateur Radio Union of Serbia) and CQ Manchester Mineira DX Contest(CQ MM Con) organized by CWJF Group on April 17.

At first, as to YU DX Con, I participated in the second round of the contest(0900z to 1700z on Sunday). I could make QSOs with 22 stations including 5 YU stations on the band of 15m and 20m. In Japan the time when YU DX Con takes place is between dask and midnight. Now we can make QSOs with EU stations in night time on 15m and 20m bands. I think it is inconvenient timetable because the period of contest is devided into two rounds. But I think the second period is suit for our present conditions in Japan.

As to CQ MM Con, I could make 3 QSOs with 2 UA0s and 1 PY station. This year regulation changed and CQ MM Con became worldwide contest. But I had few opportunities of QSO.
