CQWW CW 2008 at YM3A

As I ended up in Istanbul during the last weekend of November I was happy to be invited to be a part of the YM3A team who was setting up for a M/2 operation near the city of Bandirma. The team consisted of LZ1NK, LZ1CNN, LZ1WX, LZ1UK, LZ2UW, TA2TX, DF4SA and myself. During the contest we had a total of 8 hours of power outages. A leason was learned to bring a generator for the next operation in Turkey. We finished with 7000 QSOs and 11.5 million points.

Thanks to the Spiderbeam Team for a great time in the Turkish country side!
