The special call IR3L was assigned to me, by the italian telecomunications authority, for the use during the Ari International Dx Contest 2022 the first weekend of may. IR3L was assigned to me also for the WAE Cw the second weekend of august and the CQ WW CW the last weekend of november. So instead of I3FDZ this year I’ll use IR3L. I’m going to partecipate in Single Operator Low Power category, therefore try to contact me even if my signal strength is low, any qso with you will be appreciated very much. On 10/15/20 metres bands i use a two elemets cubical quad about 15 metres high. On 40/80 metres i use inverted v dipoles with the apex 12 metres high.

Ciao, see you soon.

The Arrl Contest committee published the Arrl Dx Cw Contest 2022 raw scores. We can see a lot of italian stations joinig it. My entry is in the Single Operator Unlimited High Power category. I’m listed in the 30th position with about four hour of operations.

The classification of italian station for SOUHP will follows, instead the full ARRL Dx Cw contest 2022 raw scores are here.

I’ve just received an email from CQ Communications, Inc., publishers of CQ Amateur Radio magazine and sponsor of the CQ World Wide DX and WPX Contests to comunitate their decision about that.

Here is the original message with all details:

Less than three mounths to the ARI Interational DX Contest 2022. It will take place the first weekend of may. Starting at 12:00 UTC of saturday may 7 untill 11:59 UTC of sunday may 8. Twuentyfour hours of operation on five bands. No limits about multioperators cattegories. This is the link, in the ARI site, for the whole rules.

Italian stations will exchange the abreviation of their provincie. I remenber the ARI International DX Contest 2022, is aworld wide type, every one can contact every one, but the Italian stations count ten points for each qso and every province contacted counts a moltiplier in all bands

Italian operators are waiting you. Save the date and join our contest.

DARC, Deutschen Amateur-Radio-Club e.V., just published the final results of the WAE European Dx Contest for the CW round. The full results are reachable at the following link. Personally I’m not satisfied becouse i lost une position from the tenth place of declared score to the eleventh place of the final results. From my UBN sheet i found  lots of mistakes in the received QTC errors list. I have better to improve my performance for the next year. Follow three plans, from the official site of DARC, with first positions of the Single operator LP category regarding Europe, Outside Europe and Italy.

Just eight hours of operations in the CQ WW CW  2021, but a challenging job, has been performed this year. The radio traffic results as: more than four hundred qso, 136 multipliers and 49 zone on six bands. My entry is in the “Single operator LP assisted” category. I hope have more time available next year. The next table, from the contest logger QARTest, shows summary and few statistics.

The DARC WAEDC management issued the the WAE CW 2021 RAW SCORES, and here by countries. From that site, in the next pictures, I extracted a partial list of Low Power category for EU, DX and Italy.

I listed tenth on european ranking and first on the italian one. Now we have to wait, trustful, for the committee check, to determine the right places. I hope to make few mistakes as this is my best performance in WAE CW contest.
