Saman tilaisuuden aikana workittiin SAC-kisan cw-osuus.
Yleisöä oli varsinkin perjantaina Valojen Yö-tapahtuman aikana kiitettävästi.
Kuvia tapahtumasta löytyy kuvagalleriasta.
Ennen kontestia ajettiin n. 300 QSOa, joista muutama digimodella. Itse kontestissa ajettiin 1059 QSOa, kerroin 157 ja tulos 375073 pistettä. Valitettavien ongelmien takia workkimisaika oli vain 16 tuntia 24 tunnin sijaan.

OF200AD is memorial call sign of Hamina Peace Treaty signed on 17th of
September, 1809. We at OH5AD, the local club set up an open-door, green
field station for the anniversary weekend right in Hamina's historic quarters in
a Gun Powder Cellar (from mid 1700's). A 12 m tower with an A3S and a
surplus telescoping mast with a 40 m delta loop and 80 m dipole were erected on
Thursday the 17th on the banks surrounding the Cellar. Two radios, a FT-1000mp
with a Drake L4B and an Icom 756 ProII with a small Dentron amp were used
the Yaesu being the run radio and the Icom a back-up. From Friday the 18th
till Saturday the 19th we operated on SSB and also on RTTY and had a fair
amount of visitors coming to the site. Some 300 contacts were made then.
CW Contest starting at noon UTC. Unfortunately Mr. Murphy decided to visit
us. We could not get the lap tops to key the interfaces and while troubleshooting
the network crashed. We finally got on the air at 14:07, more than two hours
late. Things ran smoothly until the third QSY to 80 m at 23:30. Our dipole just
went dead. The other bands were more or less dead and we decided to go home and
come back in the morning.
We restarted at 5:40 on Sunday morning and enjoyed nice pile ups and a
surprising opening on 15 to ZL and JA. Things ran smoothly until the end
of the contest. On Sunday we had again a fair amount of visitors, sometimes the
background noise was so high that we could not hear own monitor.
The project was an experience by itself. Firstly it was inspiring to set
modest set up can work. And finally it was a great opportunity to
demonstrate ham radio, this crazy hobby to the public. People were very interested of
coarse and maybe a few got the spark, time will tell...
Thanks to all who worked us. We will QSL all contacts via the bureau. Any
direct requests should be addressed to OH5AD.
