| OZ6SYL
- 2013...2024 As the first non-Scandinavian YL I became a member of this group and during the meeting 2013 in Roskilde was the first to put the callsign OZ6SYL on the air. During every subsequent stay in Denmark, I operated under this callsign - also in the CW part of the Scandinavian Activity Contest. From 2013 to 2024 there were 8250 CW QSOs in the log. The new QSL designed by DL3KWS has been sent out since 2023. The next meeting will take place in Iceland in May 2025. See also https://www.sylra.is |

.......................................2022
and 2023 again on Madeira - CT9 To make way to possible pandemic problems, we had moved also 2022 the CT9 trip to November. As in 2021 the island with pleasant temperatures received us. We have shortened the everyday excursions something, as here early arrival saves parking space in the destination as well as in the hotel. This time we were staying 4 weeks at the new reconstructed and furnished Hotel Royal Orchid. Everything really very nicely …, however, a LED chain of lights made QRM with S9 on all HF bands. The radio operation were adapted to it: CT9/DL3KWR in the afternoon CW and CT9/DL3KWF in the evening FT8 without lights on the radio desk. Total 3570 QSOs in the logs: 15% "normal-CW-QSOs", contest-CW-QSOs 37% and in FT8 (favour 30m) 48%. Equipment: IC-7100 with tuner AH-4 and vertical antenna 7.2 m. From the 24.02 to 27.03.2023 we were again on Madeira. It was the last 4-week stay on the flower island. The LED-QRM admitted only limited radio communication like in November, 2022: CT9/DL3KWR with daylight in CW and in the evening CT9/DL3KWF mainly in FT4/FT8. The propagation were clearly better on the upper bands, so that the 30-metre band was not served any more. The participation in UBA- and in the RA-DX contest was sure in CW. Total came 5760 QSOs to our logs: CT9/DL3KWR 1810 CW-QSOs, CT9/DL3KWF 650 QSOs in CW and in 3300 in FT4/FT8. Since 1996 we were more than 80 weeks guests on the island Madeira. Under CT3 and from 2010 under CT9 we have presented with more than 100,000 QSOs this wonderful island to radio friends in more than 200 countries - each of us the half of the QSOs. 93.1% CW and 6.9% DIGI - 55.6% of all QSOs on the WARC bands. Now it is more and more an arduous journey for us with the equipment. Thus it is probable that 2023 was our last year with radio activity on Madeira. How every concert ends only after an addition, we have booked for October 10 days at the hotel Royal Orchid. The management also wants to provide again a sunshade foot to the stabilisation of the antenna on the balcony... |

CT9
- Madeira 2021 We had our for March, 2021 planned trip moved caused by Corona to November. With a registration at the health authorities of the island were immigration and stay no problem. To experience Madeira in autumn, is also miraculous. The propagation conditions did not meet expectations. The attenuation on the higher bands weakened the signals of Europe known from other years by about 3 S-stages. Short-term QSB and digital QRM from the house became a problem. Only the signals from longer distances (e.g. LU or ZL) were stable. It came about 700 QSOs to the log - so little as never before. Station as since 2010: TRX IC-7000, tuner AH-4, aerial 7 m vertically at the same hotel Cais da Oliviera, Canico de Baixo, IM12OP 04ID |

OZ6SYL Two week in the nature of Denmark. Very nice to see the visitors roe deer, squirrel, many birds ... The propagation was not the best; especially the 17m band was missing. But indifferent: QSO is a QSO also on the 40 m band. At last was 907 QSOs in the log - 600 of them got in the CW part of the Scandinavian Activity Contest. Paper cards are sure, eQSLs are uploaded. Thank you to Inger, OZ7AGR, for the permission to use again the call sign of SYLRA: OZ6SYL. TRX: IC-7000, antenna: 10 m vertical connected by tuner AH-4, software: Win-Test. Trophy winner of most active scandinavian YL of the SAC CW part.

Including RA-DX-Contest (20m) came only 1390 QSOs (from a total of 2525) to my log, most QSOs were on 17 m and 30 m. Photo: On our everyday tours over the island sports devices are also used.
