Setup: ====== We used all of the DL6FBL fixed installation plus my 30m pneumatic Mobile Tower, which held a Cushcraft XM515 (5-ele 15m) on top [@34m], and a Delta Loop for 80 meters [apex @32m]. On the other side of the street we had installed a 14m high crank-up tower, which held a Cushcraft XM510 (5-ele 10m). A second K9AY had also been installed, but somehow that didn't work. I guess that they simply overload, when there are simultanous signals on 80 and 160 on the air, which is the case in a M/M operation ;-) So all lowband receiving was done on the transmit antennas. Sorry for our "little ears"...
160: Kenwood TS-850S + PA + Inverted-L on the aluminium rooftop 80: Kenwood TS-950S + PA + Delta Loop @ 32m 40: Yaesu FT-1000MP + PA + 2-ele Quad @ 24m 20: Yaesu FT-1000MP + PA + 3-ele Quad @ 24m + 3-ele Quad @ 18m 15: Kenwood TS-850S + PA + 5-ele Cushcraft XM515 @ 34m + 3-ele Quad @ 18m 10: Kenwood TS-850S + PA + 5-ele Cushcraft XM510 @ 14m
Dunestar 300 Monoband Band Pass Filters, on 10/15/20/40m cascaded with another Dunestar 600 Band Pass Filter, and coax stubs at the amplifiers' outputs on 10/15/20/40/80m. Writelog v10.46 on seven Notebook computers (all Windows 2000/XP)
Story: ====== Nothing really broken, a Kenwood TS-950S went back to 10W output due to overheat, because we had blocked the air slots ;-) The rotator for the 15m Yagi stopped rotating Saturday afternoon. After we had taken down the Mobile Tower again on Sunday morning, and checked cables, it simply came back into service without further explanation...
Our 80m/40m daylight secret weapon, YL Steffi, DL8NSB, had much fun collecting lots of 59001 reports from YL hunters ;-) At one time Steffi asked me to take her seat for a minute while she was eating. On that same frequency she had worked a constant flow of stations only a minute ago, I sat and called and called and called, and got no answers for minutes. Then she took over again, and her small pile-up came back... Guys, are we really so "focussed"? ;-)
Thanks to all who came here and helped to expand the station setup for the M/M operation, and operated DA0BCC to a new German national record in the M/M class. And, many thanks to all, who gave us a call in the contest.

Have a look on the number of DL stations especially on 160/80/40m. That's Steffi's work... ;-)
