Team SZ1A participated in this year’s CQ WPX RTTY contest with a limited entry, acknowledging that we could have achieved a higher score based on our past performances. Nevertheless, our primary focus remains being on-air and engaging in as many contests as possible.

Team Operators were Dimitris SV1CIB, Vasilis SV1DPJ, and for a brief period Antonis SV1ENG. Our team made a valiant effort during the event. Initially planning for a single-band entry, we ultimately competed in the traditional Multi-Single High-Power (MS HP) category.

Despite having only one full-time operator, we tried our very best and managed to put forth a commendable performance.

However, our efforts were curtailed by a sudden lightning storm during the final hours, forcing us to cease operations prematurely. Despite this, we are grateful to all who called us and eagerly anticipate the next contest.

Until then, best regards and see you on the airwaves! 73’s!
