IARU HF Championship

VY SRI for late renewal because I have been too busy to renew my blog.

I participated in the IARU HF Championship organized by IARU between July10 and 11 at Onomichi City in Hiroshima, Japan as the call sign JO3PSJ/4.

I used these HF antennas for this contest: inverted V dipole 40m and 20m bands, 2-Elements Yagis for 15m and 10m bands.

My individual result was 84QSOs, I acquired 25 entities: JA、HL、BY、BV、VR2、JT、HS、９M2、VU、DU、KH2、YB、ZL、UA0、UA、EW、UR、SK、OE、S5、YU、LY、W、VE、XE, of them VU(India) and SX(Greece) were my first QSO entities.
I had 14 HQ stations in the world in this contest:8N2HQ、8N1HQ、8N4HQ、8N8HQ（JARL)、B4HQ(China)、BV0HQ（Chinese Taipei）、 ZL6HQ(New Zealand)、R3HQ(European Russia)、 LY0HQ(Lithuania）、 OE1A(Austria)、SK9HQ(Sweden)、 S50HQ(Slovenia)、SX0HQ(Greece）、NU1AW（IARU).

Condition was comparably poor at my operation site. Especially, I seemed 21M band was like hell. I had difficulties to have a QSO even with neighbouring countries.

I considered this IARU Contest as preparation for the RSGB IOTA Contest which will be held between July 24 and 25. I will decide my strategic plan for the next contest according to the result of IARU Contest.

TNX FR FB QSO!
