New world record in the CQ WW Contest in multi multi QRP category

Humorous things and jokes are always really important in our lifes. And humour in ham radio is twice important.
Everyone knows nervous situations on bands in expeditions pile-up, in DX-ing how some people deliberately do bad things to others. Joking and fun is defence against these people and these things laying outside ham spirit.

Do you want to be a winner in the biggest internacional contest which CQ WW CW certainly is ?       
Create your own category !

Absolutly crazy category you ever can imagine has been invented by well known DX-man Jiri OK2RZ.
QRP in multi - multi !!

4 workplaces with 4 FT817 and Jiri's antenna farm in his HHRR (Ham heaven Radio Ranch).



Jiri OK2RZ has been working very hard since summer to build new antennas for this contest. The result is 14 antennas for 4 workplaces. Including 4 element wire yagi for 80 metres.

All workplaces were equipped with FT-817 and laptop using N1MM contest logging program. All laptops were connected to the network with DX cluster.
The core of the team were experienced QRP operators: Milan OK2BYW and Milan OK1IF. Their assistents were experienced QRO operators Jiri OK2RZ, Milos OK2VA and Raimund OK2RU. And assistent's assistents were the most experinced LOW POWER operators Jaromir OK2HZ and Ivan OK2BMU (OK2KOS team members). Team is (except the last one) about  57+ so they are (except the last greenhorn - only 48) really experienced operators.

Contest is easy - result is sure. We are all winners even before start of contest. No stress, peace and we first hundred contacts are in the log. 

Result is secret for now.   Really not important - we are already winners.

Now you can look at our faces. Do you know who is who ?     Jokes for ever !!!!   Keep smiling !!!!
