Every year frist weekend in June the Aegena 50MHZ Contest is held.

This year I would like to participate, first I have the FT-818 (QRP Radio) which covers the 6m band, 2nd I have build a 6m bazooka, 3nd I have read the rules and I am able to produce the EDI for Log Format.

Antenna:
Days before I checked the 2019 prepared Bazooka - pulled up on the mast of my ship.
But the resonant qrg was too high - and I was not able to bring them down to abt 50100 kHz.
So I decided to construct a new one.
But also the new one was not exactly on 50100 kHz - but with the tuner it matches to 1:1.2
The bandwith is abt 200 kHz enough for the CW Part of the band.
The used RG58 is too thin for wider bandwith.
 
Placed the FT-818 with Tuner and a Lipo 8 Ah in the cockpit of the Ship.
The Antenna connection straight down to the tuner.


Contest:
Saturday 13:00 UTC - I listend and hear some station calling.
Then worked abt every 10-15 Min a station.
First one was 9H - Malta.
Until 17:00 UTC I had 17 QSO in Log, 15 in CW and 2 in SSB.
Then made a rest for dinner.
After dinner after 18:00 UTC only few stations heard and could make one QSO only.
I replied some back - but they din'd copy my QRP Signal.  
Sunday 08:00 started again to listen.
Made 10 QSO until 12:00 UTC - then the band becomes quiet and I closed the contest.

At the begin I used the Wolfwave for check the sigs in Waterfal. It helps a lot for tuning to the exactly Frequency.
But the sidetone is delayed - this made me confuse when I keyed and I connected the headset directly to the TX output.
Most time I used SV8/HB9FIH only - without /QRP - because using a prefix, and at the end an appendix is vy hard to recognize for the takers. Sometimes if I feelt the connectionn is well I used /QRP.
TX power was always maxima 5 Watts.

The longest distance was to Germany to JO40JP reached 1890 km
I worked abt 7 hrs,
made 27 QSO, 23 in CW and 4 in SSB
reached 19 different LOC's
made abt QSO 30'000 Points (without the Muliplicators)
see the different chart pictures.
Lets see which final result ........

LOG:
During the contest I wrote the QSO to a paper log (I was sure not to make hunderds of QSO)
After installing the recommended N1MM logger and another (VUCS) - I recognized that my favourite Log Software covers this contest (an the export in EDI format) too, so I put them into UCXLog.

[Remarks]
My first 50MHz Contest.
First had some timing problems (key and tone), after enjoyed the 6m fun.
(I called sometimes with /QRP most time not, bc callsign with prefix)
