JT5DX Contesting From Mongolia - Chak Choigonjav JT1CO December 2013
|
|---|
Our contest station JT5DX is located 370km northwest of Ulaanbaatar capatal city of Mongolia. It is 15km away from the Russian border. It takes about 5-6 hour using
public transportation and 3-4 hours with car to get to JT5DX contest station from Ulaanbaatar.
It is located in my company “Arvin Khur”. Arvin Khur is an Agricultural
company located at JT5. The company mainly plants wheat and Canola and also sell products such as Cold pressed Canola Oil, Natural Honey etc.
It is about 20-35 degree celsius in the Summer and -15- -35 degree celsius in the winter. During fall there are many mosquitoes. It is also very close to the Selenge river.

At the JT5DX contest station there are 2 Rotating Rohn45 towers 40m height and 2 fixed 43m tall towers with 40m 3 ele yagi x2, 20m 5 ele yagi x2, 10m 7 ele yagi, 15m 7 ele yagi
and monster 160 m 4sq 80m 4sq as antennas. My rig Elecraft K3, IC7800, FT2000, FT1000MP, FT100, ACOM 2000, TOKYO HY POWER 3.5k, ALPHA 87A, PV.
With this equipment it is possible to work with multi-multi Multi2 and Multi single during contests. Contesting from here it is very comfortable with warm housings,
full plumbing, warm water and everything you would expect from comfortable and enjoyable contest station.
It is comfortable in all seasons because of the buildings and there are no problems regarding weather. Also we have accommodations available for contesters to
rest and take a shower.
It took almost 4 years for the contest station to be fully operational and we may choose to add more things to the contesting station in the future.
I have had many great contesting experiences at my contest station and also many great achievements. Many of my contesting informations are available on the internet,
you may search for JT5DX to see clear examples of how amazing the contest station functions.
We also have had many operators to our station as guests such as YT1AD Hrane, K1LZ Krassy, K4ZW.......
We are now planning to put together a contest group with member from all around the world that are willing to come and work from Mongolia.
We may rent the contest station, as we are currently not sure about that we are still interested in contesting ourselves for the next few years. We may rent the contest
station during regular periods if people are interested in working from Mongolia.

N6MI CONTEST VAN:
J. Scott Bovitz, N6MI, is an enthusiastic little pistol and a proud member of the Southern California Contest Club.
Business prevented Bovitz from enjoying the recent surge in sunspots (the second peak), so he was hell-bent on participating in the 2013 CQ WW DX CW contest in late November.
After studying the weather.gov pages, Bovitz drove 200 miles looking for a break in the rain and snow.
Finally, the rain stopped for a few hours south of Mojave. Bovitz camped on a small rise with a good view in most directions.
Bovitz was three hours late into the contest and exhausted, so he worked a few folks and went to bed. The rain started again and did not stop for 24 hours.
Bovitz woke at dawn on Saturday and found his milk was frozen...but the higher bands were hot and never dried up.

SCCC Wins Yet Another Gavel - N6NB November 2013
|
|---|
The results of the 2013 August UHF contest are now online at ARRL.org, and SCCC won the club competition. Unlike the June VHF contest, in which SCCC just barely
outscored the Potomac Valley Radio Club (by 30K out of 1.3 million points), this one was a blowout.
SCCC had 1.1 megapoints. The next highest club aggregate score was about 250K.
Our score came mostly from rovers. N6NB had the top rover score, followed by KI6FGV and the family duo of N6EY and N6KYS. Sharing a station under the family
rule for the first time (they were married three weeks before the contest), they tied for third nationally. Another married couple, W6TTF and WA6WTF, tied for sixth.
The UHF contest has only included a club competition for five years, but SCCC has now won four gavels in this contest. Surely the rules will be changed soon!
