CQ WW DX CW
Multi-two

2^nd ZL,
4^th Oceania (certificate below)

8,930,310

Lots of runs, lots of fun.  Trouble with the 10m antenna but the rigs, amps and DXcluster all worked.  Despite our good score, we were soundly beaten by our friends at ZM1A.  Write-up.

1^st ZL,
2^nd Oceania (certificate below)

 8,824,016
ZL record

Write-up.  6,572 QSOs and 488 mults (132 zones + 356 countries).  Soundly beaten in Oceania by AH0BT’s 11 million but we beat VI6NC, KH7CW and other worthy opponents.   Extended our ZL record once again!

1^st ZL,
2^nd Oceania (certificate below)

3,294,719

1,500 QSOs and 700 mults was enough to win ZL [being the only M2 ZL entrant!] but well short of VK4KW’s Oceania-winning score of 7m points.  Write-up.

Despite a significant increase on our previous year’s score with nearly twice as many QSOs (2,112 QSOs), this “1^st  ZL, 2^nd Oceania” bit is getting boooring!  We’ll be gunning for 1^st  Oceania from now on!  660 mults.

 This was the club’s inaugural event using wire dipoles and two beams.  Our aims were to have fun, prove the site and radio systems and achieve a respectable score.  3 out of 3!  We only made one topband QSO this year so there is definitely room for improvement there.  2,546 QSOs, 115 zones and 234 DXCCs = 394 mults.  Watch this space ...
