THE OPØHQ STORY 2006


Updated September 9, 2006 (ON5ZO)


OPØHQ 2006 QSL via ON7LX
QSL Status: cards being printed (first batch late 2006)

We have collected pictures from the 10 different stations that made up the OPØHQ team, the UBA Headquarters team for the IARU HF contest 2006.

Included are some details on the performances of each station. The analysis was done as if each station was running individually, which means for each band/mode station all multipliers worked are listed. For compiling the results of the global effort multipliers are "common" for each band, independently from mode.

The submitted total score, after checking and verification, is:

We would like to congratulate all station owners, operators, helpers, technical assiatnts, XYLs and YLs who contributed to this outstandig result. We know where we can still improve, and hope we can do a similar effort next year.
