IOTA Contest report

Last weekend I was on IOTA Contest getting around 200 QSO including European stations on 20m band.
from Tonga on 15m band the propagation alwyas opened for JA but there were not many station looking for South Pacific.
On 20m band was well done however only from 17:00 to 20:00 local time for Asia , North America and few European.
Next I will on WAE contest CW.

FT-991 ALS-500M vertical dipole.


Comparing IC-7300 and FT-991.
I have an impression, the reception audio of FT-991 is better as quiet than 7300, however 7300 is not terrible audio, and the function of 7300 is better than 991.
