IARU UHF SHF Contest 2010 – LY2WR
| Coming to VHF QTH from Vilnius (80km by road) had a lot of optimism, as Heburn Tropo Forecast looked quite promissing for the weekend. |
 |
| It was calm even on Gedanonys hilltop, 245m above sea level. About 60kg of gear, food and water to be carried up the stairs further 40 meters to LY2WR shack. |
 |
| A friendly chat with the only local TV-set owner Adomas. The next is 500m away, 2nd next 1km away. |

 |
| Oleg LY3UE brought his TS-2000 to be used on 1296 MHz band. |
 |
| Unfortunately, tropo was just average, for 3rd year we are waiting for troposferic duct conditions to coincide with one of the large european contests. |
 |
| All in all, we are happy about the results, which are better than in 2009.Contest Report from LY2WR in KO24FO at 432 MHz ==============================================QSOs : 47 QSO-points 24616 WWLs : 38 DXCCs : 12 ODX : OE3A in JN77XX at 944 kmTop 10 QSO-points: OE3A JN77XX 944 OK2A JO60LJ 907 DF0MTL JO61JF 867 OL3Z JN79FX 852 DM5D JO61OC 849 OK5Z JN89AK 813 DL7APV JO62JR 796 HA6W KN08FB 779 DL7ANR JO62PM 773 DL8VL JO71FG 765Contest Report from LY2WR in KO24FO at 1,3 GHz ==============================================QSOs : 12 QSO-points 2989 WWLs : 11 DXCCs : 6 ODX : SM7LCB in JO86GH at 534 kmTop 5 QSO-points: SM7LCB JO86GH 534 RA3LE KO64AR 488 SP2WPY JO94FL 388 SP5QAT KO02LB 366 SP4MPB KO03HT 265 |
