Summary of activity for year 2009

All these summaries have been generated based on information provided by the VQLog program.

Overall:

As I did in the past years, in 2009 I have concentrated my activity on the 2m band and specially in EME (Moonbounce). I'm very satisfied with the performance of the 8x17 2M5WL array and it's great to be able to work single-yagi-100w stations easily via the Moon, even on random, thanks to the JT65B digital mode. I have also made a good number of QSO on 50 MHz by Sporadic-E, both with my usual callsign and also using the special call AM6M. This year I have changed the 6m antenna and the new 6M9KHW is performing very well, even allowing me some EME contacts on this band. I have also made some sporadic-E QSO on 4 m, but with a very small station only. My goals for this year were getting to 150 DXCC, 800 grid squares and 1300 EME initials on two meters, and although I didn't achieved the first two, I have been close to it, so I'm quite happy.
