Yes, it is this time of the year again! I was planed to work from the famous DX-Hotel @ DM9EE in Holzminden for anothe Single OP Assisted Low Power effort. Just days befor the contest Carsten reportet that there was an issue with the main antenna. I was trying to find another station where I can operate from, but it was rather difficoult, and so I ended up giving it a shot from DM9EE and hope for the best with the small antenna glitch.

I arrived around noon on Friday and we started to set everything up. Carsten fixed the 80m foursquare and I did the testing and N1MM setup inside. By 19:00 local time everything was set up and time for a delicous christmas dinner and sleep.

Very light pre contest meal made me wonder if I would wake up on time or not!

Since 2013 I am doing this single OP low power thing, I did not want to miss out this year. 2018-2023 it was DX Hotel and before from home. 2024 I operated from Difona in Heusenstamm:

My way of doing this is always the same. Chase all mults in the band map until nothing is left to work, and after that add some 3 point QSOs to the log.

After 24 hours I had 500 QSOs in the log and 438 CTYs.

I also followed the SOAB battle between N6MJ/EF8R, KL9A/CQ9A and E77DX/5J1DX on onlinescore and tried to work them on all bands.

At the end I was able to pile up exactly 1000 QSOs and a lot of DXCC’s. Almost a 5Band-DXCC in 48 hours! (Only 80m was not su effective). With the small antenna glitch I missed a few mults form asia on 40m and I could also not work a ton of JA/BY stations as I usually would for 3 ponts, but over all the DXCC count was fine.
