Michael - DL6MHW<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@hamchallenge" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>hamchallenge</span></a></span> week 6 ("Take part in a contest") is not very easy for me. In an average week I take part in monday contests MWC and in every "important" contest in the weekend. But now I am on vacation far away from my antennas. So I have to setup a quite heavy portable station (10 kg) and managed 33 QSOs on 40m in MWC in the QRP section so <a href="https://social.darc.de/tags/HC06S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HC06S</span></a></p>

In an average week I take part in a few of the smaller contests (MWC, CWT, sometimes SST and MST) and every weekend I at least drop into one of the contests for a few contacts as well. With yesterday's quick participation in MWC, in which I worked <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@df7cb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>df7cb</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.radio/@on5zo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>on5zo</span></a></span> on 40/80m, CW, the challenge is fulfilled but my thirst for more QSOs is not quenched 🙂 <a href="https://social.darc.de/tags/HC06S" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HC06S</span></a></p>
