Soapbox RDXC-2009
| 2E0RCV | Pleased to air my new call (ex M3RCV), but only had time to enter single band 80 m this year. |
| 3A/IZ4AKS | Bad propagation during the entire week-end. Few-strong signals from Russia, for the rest... 20 were completely death. I was in Monaco for holydays, and I had just few hours for the contest, but i`m happy to have in the log more than 50 QSOs. Just one note for the contest manager: I`m not expert with cabrillo files, I`m sending the log with pleasure. Less than 60 qso, happy to give the multiplier. |
| 3V8SS | Nice contest! Keep up the good job. Thanks for managing this contest. Really enjoyable. I made over 22h of operation. See you next contest. |
| 3Z50KPN | Special event call - "Flora fauna expedition" - 50 years of "Kampinoski" park. |
| 4X4DK | Not all the QSO`s were contest participants. I really enjoyed the contest and hope next time will take more seriously. |
| 4Z1UF | Some black out - and missed the beginning, so started to work almost 1 hour later... |
| 4Z5J | Our thanks to all the new friends in Israel for their hospitality and help. |
| 7N2JNN | I enjoyed the contest. |
| 8S0C | It is a very fun contest, since it is a lot of activity on the bands. However, this year I had to work the contest from my home and not from the club. I had used my second radio, a FT-857, and a W3DZZ antenna, 10 m above the ground. It was not possible to work more than one station on 15 and none on 10 m. |
| 9A8W | Not much time and no antenna for 40 m (used 160 m ANT on that band), but lots of fun. 73 thank you all. |
| A45WG | Nice to see 15 m open. |
| A61M | MANY THANKS TO RDXC MEMBERS. AND MANY GOOD LUCK FOR ALL 2009 CONTESTERS FOR GOOD RESULTS AND SCOR`S MY WISHES TO ALL |
| A71EM | I would like to thank all pepole who are incharge of this FB contest and I enjoyed it very much indeed. CU next year. |
| BD7JSQ | TNX for all the contest QSOs, HPE CU guys next year. |
| BG4AHF/QRP | 1st QRP mode. Very hard to make a QSO but very intersting. |
| BV4VR | See every one next contest. |
| C4W | Great contest. I am eternally grateful to bob 5B4AGN who let me operate at his super station. I can`t wait till next year. |
| C4Z | First time I have tried this contest, it has a great format with something for everyone. Would love to do it from a well equipped station. Nevertheless it was enjoyable. I did not target countries, but concentrated on looking for oblasts. Will be back next year for sure. |
| CT1AGF | Just a few contacts S&P. |
| CU3TRP | This contest was in honor of CU3CZ that passed away last 15th of March. Conditions wer |
| DB7BU | Hello, it was a very nice contest. |
| DC9ZP | It has been a very exciting contest, thanks a lot. |
| DG1RZD | Thank you for the friendly invitation and the organization. Fine business. |
| DG2BHB | Many thanks for the nice contact to every one. See you on air! |
| DH2URF | Thanks for nice contest, friends. Good luck. |
| DH8BQA | Lousy conditions, not a single beep on 15 & 10 m. :-(( So a lot of QRM on the remaining bands making QSOs with 100 W and a Tribander on 20 m quite difficult - no chance to run. 40 m provided some nice DX but also no chance to call myself. 80 m much better but still lots of QRM and splatters. Not to much activity on 160 m but easy there, even with calling myself, hihi. So let`s hope for improved condx next year! 73, Olli |
| DJ1AA | Next year more Russian stations do not call only CQ in Russian language. I have to wait a long time to get the call in English or often I had to ask like: "what is your call please?". It takes a lot of time to get the INFO who is working there. Sorry i do not speak this language, perhaps 1000th as well. Thanks for your attention and greetings from Germany. |
| DJ1YFK | Only part-time this year but I enjoyed every minute of it. |
| DJ2QV | Not much time this year, just giving out a few points - see you next year. |
| DJ6TK | Sorry, no more time. |
| DK1AX | Fb contest, Will call again. |
| DK2BJ | CONDX haven`t been so good as in the years before. |
| DK3DUA | Tnx for the fun. No 10m this year (Maunder? ;-) 73 |
| DK4A | Nice contest with lots of activity. Was surprised to work VK4AA on 15 m as this band appeared closed. Unfortunately I had to run "un-assisted" as the umts-dongle was missing. The mods to the 40 m Delta Loop seemed to pay off. |
| DL3GD | I just tested a new antenna for 40/80 m - and not realy participate in the contest. So I made only a few QSOs and just for fun. |
| DL3KWF | Sorry, that we participate this year in RDXC from DL - but next year we will be again in CT3 to spend this multiplier. |
| DL5AWI | No much time and only 100 W. Hope for no QRL next year. |
| DL5KUD | Had fun at pretty good propagation. |
| DL6RBO | Super contest, great activity and only 24 hours, that`s what my family like. Hope to see you all next year. |
| DL7CS | Just some QSOs - but great fun. |
| DL7DZ | Danke schoen fuer das contest. |
| DL7JAN | Had fun on the topband. Nice contest. CU 2010. |
| DL8HCO | Again one of my favourate Contest, but Murphy hits me very bad. Friday I drilled a hole in my right thumb and at saturdaymorning a nerv in my back failed. The few hours sitting at the staion were very painfull, hi hi. See you again next year in better shape. 73 Sven DL8HCO |
| DM5R | Thanks for the many good Russian stations. We had a lot of fun. Good CONDX also on 80/40 bands. See you next year. |
| DP1POL | It is located at the German research station "Neumayer III" in Antarctica, Grid loc. IB59UH. The station has been officially opened on February 20, 2009. I had just put up a dipole antenna for 40 m before the contest, so I made a handful of contacts to try the new antenna which worked reasonably well. |
| DQ4W | Tnx for nice contest, We always enjoy the high activity and good operators from Russia. |
| DR4A | Thanks for this great event. |
| DV1UBY | Poor band condition limits my contest operation. |
| E74A | I hope next year i will operate seriously. |
| EA3FF | I enjoyed the contest but have not possibilities to work it on Sunday. See you next year. |
| EA3FHP | La propagacie no era gaire bona. fins l`any que ve. total 60 QSO. |
| EA5QB/QRP | An amazing contest one more year. Thanks to all for the patience with the QRP stations. I worked with my FT-817, a MFJ-1796 vertical antenna and 5 Watts output. See you next year, DSW. |
| EA8CN | Nice activity but poor HF conds. |
| EA8MQ | The spread was not very good but I was delighted to hear the many signals om of all thank you very much and hope to hear again. |

| G0FPU | SD easy to use only made a few calls. |
| G0MTN | Good fun until stopped by TVI. |
| G0WHO | Listened Saturday evening, no Russian stations calling, only US calling into Europe. Thanks for organising the contest. |
| G3JJZ | Another great contest - just a pity CONDX were so bad. Perhaps things will be better in 2010. |
| G3YMC | Not a serious attempt but just to give away some points. Conditions fairly flat and not much DX about. Please next year have a seperate CW only QRP section. |
| G3ZRJ | Very busy contest. Glad I have cascaded CW filters. Noted 5B4AII make 2 contacts before start on 15 m. Thanks for all your hard work with the contest. Hope to do better next year. SD worked fine. |
| G4BXT | A great contest. I wish I could have spent more time. |
| G4EBK | Enjoyable contest. No QSOs on 28 MHz, only 5 QSOs on 21 MHz: 4 with Cyprus, 1 with V7. |
| G4MKP | Good contest. lots of oblasts to be found and also great activity from us and canada. doubled my claimed score from last year and met many old contesting friends - doesn`t get much better. cheers and thanks for the q`s everyone. |
| G4PIQ | Work prevented me making a serious effort from M6T this year but managed to make a few QSOs from my small home station. |
| G4RCG | Had a great day on Saturday, but bad died early. Sunday was not too good but still enjoyed the contest. I would like to complain about the operating of LZ131GO who just operated right over the top of me after the 1st hour and just called and called "CQ TEST" he could not work any one. |
| G6CSY | Running CW only QRP. So SOAB-MIX-QRP seems best option. Thanks to V47NT for the all-time-new DXCC. |
| G8ZRE | Good contest. Not as much time as 2008 I had to work. SD easy to use. |
| GM0WED | Thanks for putting the activity on. |
| GM4SID | Enjoyed the contest especially using SD logger which scores and checks everything on time. |
| GM4UYZ | Intended to do more this year but family circumstances dictated that i could not. This is two years now that i have taken part in it and i have really enjoyed taking part. |
| GW4EVX | Very enjoyable contest. No contacts on 10m and only two on 15m. |
| HA0IH | I haven`t enought time to run all the contest`s, sorry. |
| HA2MN | Having been busy I could not run the contest over this year. It is a pity so i hope next time I`ll be able to be on the "ground" much longer. Many thanks for QSOs, see you next year. |

| J5UAP | Great contest, unfortunately, we don`t have 24 hours of generator time, so sometimes running only battery powered with 50 W I was working the RTTY contest too, sharing the weekend time. |
| JA1BPA | My 6th consecutive year of participation in this contest. The stormy weather conditions before and during the contest seriously affected the results this year. Two weeks before the RDXC the 60 mph wind had damaged. Our 15 m antenna and the rotator for 10 m antenna. Besides, the weather turned gusty on sunday with 40 mph wind blowing. |

| JG1GCO | I enjoyed the contest. |

| K1ZZ | Very competitive event. My congratulations. |
| K3TW | Many thanks to the excellent Russian operators for making this contest so successful. |
| K5ZD | Very good conditions on the low bands. Signals on 160 were very strong. 40 and 80 stayed open well after sunrise. |
| K7RFW | No Russian stations heard, until after the contest. |
| LA/CT1EEB | I only made a few QSOs for the fun of it but i was glad to be on during the contest and give multipliers to the participants. |

| LY2KZ | Actually it was single op multi band low power operation :-). |
| LY2MM | Lovely event as always. Next year many changes will appear here - different radios, different antennas. Only operator is going to be the same - eager to participate in this event again. |
| LY9A | Thanks rimas LY6A for letting me use his fine station. |
| LZ4RR | Fantastic contest. It was our first attempt in m/2 and we had a great fun working so many stations. Thanks to all for QSOs, 73. See you in next RDXC. |
| MM5FUN | Good activity. Rather cold operating outside in GM land. See you next year hopefully from a better station. |
| MU0FAL | Will be pleased when HF is more open. Not much room on low bands to find FREQs had good fun meeting old pals. |
| N1BCL | While conditions did not permit many UA QSOs I think I worked all I could hear at my QTH. Maybe the next time we will have better conditions. I really enjoy this contest every year. |
| N3UM | I enjoyed my first Russian DX contest in 2008, but made 25 of my 28 UA QSOs on 20 m., in 5 of the 10.5 hours I operated. In the other 5.5 hours I got only 1 UA out of 33 QSOs on 80 m., and 2 UAs out of 76 QSOs on 40 m. Also I noted that I would have placed 4th. |
| N4PN | This is a great contest, lots of activity. Some of the best operators show up for this one. See you next year - better CONDX? |
| NP3D/W2 | First time ever I participated in RDX contest and feel sorry that I did not do it last years. Very interesting contest, i met lots of old friends and made new ones. |
| NP4Z | Next year will do it serioulsy. Happy to work all my Russian friends. |
| NR4M | That was fun. CONDX seemed to be very good. 20 was a bottomless pit of Europeans and was quite good to the Far East in the evening. It was incredible how long after Eur sunrise 40 remained extremely good. This is a fun contest and one has to use some strategy. I know there were some Europeans on 15 but between the 10 pt Russians, the oblast mults and the countries it was hard to leave the money (20) and. One gripe and I know I`m probably not hitting the right audience here, but how do we get the qrpers to quit signing /QRP? It`s difficult enough to copy some of their calls without confusing the issue with worthless extra characters. I don`t think any of us re going to listen harder because they are signing /QRP. OK, soapbox down. Thanks to Steve for use of the station during the weekend. |
| NS6T | Thanks for running the contest. My first DX contact ever was with a Russian ham. |
| NT1A | I enjoyed working the contest part time. |

| US0HZ | Thank you very much for the contest. It was a great pleasure to meet old friends. |
| UU4JMG | There is no doubt, that RDXC is one of the best contests. See you next year. |
| VE1ZJ | Great CONDX on 80 m. TNX all. |
| VK3TZ | A relatively part time effort. There was not much activity on SSB but I had listened on the CW end and that is where all the activity seemed to be. Some strong SSB signals from Russia on 20 m but signals were not as big as usual on 40 m. Thankfully there were plenty of Australian foundation licence (beginner) stations on air. |
| VK4TT | G`day to all Ops in the contest. Used SD programm by EI5DI worked very FB. |
| VK7GN | Nice contest, i can sit down sunday evening and just have a few hours fun. |
| VK8AV | SD was good and enjoyable, as usual. |
| VO1TA | Thanks again to the organizers, always a fun contest, did not have enough time to put in a serious effort. Maybe next year. |
| VQ5B | Great contest. Lots of activity. We had a great time. |
| VU2HFR | My first RDXC. Great fun and a learning experience. Thanks to the RDXC organisers for a great contest. Thanks EI5DI for SD a fantastic contest logger. Hope to be back in RDXC next year. |
| VU2PTT | Rig: Icom 746-PRO + SB-200 Amp (400 W) Ant: Force 12 C3/S at 60`, 40m Inv-Vee at 55`, 80m Inv-L GP w/1 radial Interface: MicroHAM MicroKeyer II (CAT, Winkey, Amp keyer, sound card) Logging: N1MM Logger v9.3.2 in Multi-op mode for near-realtime backup to Laptop. Had some real fun in this contest - and also hooked up Packet. Given some sun spots, looks like a contest with great potential from the contest boondocks out here :) 15 Metres sounded like it was back to its good old days - I ran about 100 stations (EU) using 400 Watts, and then had a major power outage. Switched to laptop and batteries and continued running another 100-odd EU stations on the same QRG using 40 Watts (yes 40 Watts) after a 3 minute break to change to my backup laptop and battery for rig power. A very short break was made possible by running N1MMLogger in Multi-Op mode so that QSOs were being mirrored on the laptop in near real time. Also the use of a MicroHAM Microkeyer II - meant I just had to bring the laptop into action and plug the single USB plug form the MicroHAM interface into the laptop to have all of the station (rig, amp, keyer) switching configured immediately. Looks like every one had fun in this one - somehow 80m never sounded good for me and had only a single move with RU1A - expected a lot more QSOs. And 10m is still waiting to come alive - did not hear any one there. See you all in WPX CW - I will have to miss out on most of the SSB leg except for a few casual QSOs and maybe have my XYL operate a bit for her first contest ever!!! 73 de Prasad VU2PTT. |
| VU2UR | Enjoyed another RDX contest. Last year`s certificate is yet to arrive. Hope to work many more contests. |
| W7DRA | First RDX contest using a 1930 station, a 4 tube regen receiver a 3 tube mopa driving a 211 final amplifier at 200 watts antenna was an inverted l. |
| W7SW | Wonderful contest. Many-many thanks es 73. |
| WI2E | I wasn`t sure what to expect as this is my first spring time of operation since 1996, but I can definitely say that my first RDXC will not be my last. 20M was a bit of a slog, but things really picked up toward sunset as 40M came to life. Had I known how much I was going to enjoy this one, I would have reserved time for the entire 24 hours. I`ll be interested to see how well my score holds up given the QSB on almost all bands here (save for 15M & 10M). I asked for many more repeats than were asked of me, so either my TX signal is much better than my RX (quite possible, actually), or I`m going to have a large number of busted QSOs when all is said and done. In any event, it will be interesting to see how this plays out given the RDXC QSO adjudication procedure that has generated so much commentary here. On a side note, it was good to work many familiar stations from the recent Thursday night contests. Rig: TS-940S Amp: Ameritron AL-80A (700 - 900W) Antenna: 43 foot vertical 73, Joe WI2E |

| YC5OUB | Good propagation at the last day of the contest. See you next year. |
| YL2BJ | Bad propagation from YL to middle Russia on main point bands. |
| YO2IS | Pleased to run again my 3rd RDXC in SOSB 1.8 mhz and get my best score. Almost doubled the number of obls: 33 in 2008 versus 51 now. The K9AY made the differnce in my poor downtown location. Excelent the Russian participation, got 20 siberians. Fine the UA1AAF software, pity there is not any FD backup. |
