YU1LM/QRP Contest News


    I took part in many contests and I made the most numbers of mine QSOs in them. I like competition it is always challenge for me. I have some principles which are so important for me and I don’t like to change them for any reason specially to achieve irregular results.

1. Competitions are still fun, challenge and joy for me after many years and many Contests.

2. Unpredictable Mother Nature and her behavior, propagation at the first place, is still big mystery which attract me more then ever.

3. I always strictly obey CONTEST rules. I took part in contest always as real QRP category. My power is under permitted limit always and I never increase power to work some new multiplier.

4. I competitive not against other HAMs I competitive always against me. I always try to do it at the best way. It is a very hard and silly at the other side to competitive with other HAMs which have much better working conditions (Rigs .Antennas, Contest position….).We are all not starting from the same point. I always try to do my best ,my max in that moment. If I made some good results I am proud on it because it was achieved 100% regularly. But good results, especially at any way are not mine goal in any competition and any situation.
