PW7T @ CQWW SSB 2011

This time, the team was almost pure PT7:

Barreto PT7CB, Raimundo PT7CG, Luke PT7WA, Beto PT7YV, Moreira PT7ZT, Fabiano PT7AK (also PY3VK), Soni PT7NX (also PY1NX), Renner PT7KJ (also PY7RP), Luc PT7AG (also PY8AZT) and Alex PY2SEX – not PT7SEX yet.

Last weekend was great. We spend good time with good friends doing what we love most: Contesting! It got even better with great conditions!

Finally we got a few little magnetic sparks on Sun and CQWW history changed a lot! The 10m band was crowded from the very first sunlight until the last minute of daylight!

10m Activity concentreted on daylight hours

On sunday afternoon, the shack got very noisy when we yelling loud celebrating the last Zone worked for a triple all zones on 10, 15 and 20m. Then the team shouted again when we put the 11,000 QSO on the log.

We  finnesh the contest very close to the South America record by PJ2T on 2002 and we overcame the PY record by 52%.
