CQ WW WPX CW
It was possible to participate the CQ WW WPX CW Contest this year. Of course again from the contest station SO4M. And again in the Single Operator 20m High Power Assisted.
The propagation was a little disturbed the second night (K Index raised to 3) so there were not too much stations from North America. No good runs. Fortunately the first and the last night were really good (K Index = 1).
I was trying to beat my WPX CW record from 2015 (All Time Polish Record). This year I even made more QSOs than in 2015 but the final score is not as high. Here is the comparision of the claimed number of QSOs by continents:
Year | NA | SA | EU | AF | AS | OC |
2015 | 1 076 | 44 | 994 | 18 | 306 | 32 |
2020 | 814 | 60 | 1 239 | 13 | 327 | 35 |
Please note the number of QSOs from NA and EU. It makes the difference in the final score (DX QSOs give more points).
Year | QSOs | QSO Points | Prefixes | Final score |
2015 | 2 473 | 5 238 | 1 105 | 5 787 990 |
2020 | 2 491 | 4 869 | 1 085 | 5 282 865 |
I wrote a story (in Polish) about my WPX CW participation. It is published at the WWW site of the club station HF5L (my friends): https://hf5l.pl/starty-ze-stacji-so4m/
