Business as Usual at DQ7A

Antenna field at JN59RJ
The weather forecast was promising much better conditions than we experienced in the Junes microwave contest. So everybody was in a good mood. Also the power supply, it got a "I like it" :-) by Thomas, thanks again to OV B26.
During set up Wolfgang and Alex proudly reported important improvement on the 70cm setup. The preamplifier has been adjusted and got additional filters to block 2m signals. A test showed, that after placing a output filter onto the 2m station, the 70cm station becomes unaffected by the 2m system.
Operators were DL3NCS, DL1NGO, DJ7AT, DG2NMH, DG8AM and DD0VS (me).
For DD0VS there was the chance to make four CW contacts around midnight with a flipped kent key.
No surprises have been reported over all.
