40 casual QSOs in the #iaruhf contest. Mostly HQ stations on 20m as 15 and 10 never really opened. Worked a couple on 80m but most stations couldn't hear me even when I threw 500w at them. *sigh*

Quite a lot of contest activity on 20m in Asia, here via #KiwiSDR in Oita🇯🇵... but predominantly in CW. Much less stations are using SSB. Quite surprising 😳 #hamradio #shortwave #IARUHF

But there's DX to be had in Japan too 🙂 like TI1K 🇨🇷 on 14248 USB. A number of JA stations are contacting him successfully #hamradio #IARUHF #shortwave #KiwiSDR

Arnie's post-#IARUHF impressions:

My 2nd laptop has died 😭😭😭

~3m dia. #YouLoop killed Czechia, Austria & Italy for me on 160/80

I4 stations... give 'em that russkie QRP preamp next #WRTC 😼

ruZZians arguing over a freq on 14222 🤣

Band to DX? 15m, no kidding.

Just found 8N2HQ on a Japanese #KiwiSDR... you gotta enjoy the way he calls 😅 #shortwave #hamradio #IARUHF

Now there's a lot more slots coloured red, meaning a lot more void not being claimed by our national ham radio team... 🙄 #SN0HQ #IARUHF

Uh-oh, #SN0HQ is off on 40m SSB 😳 ... so much for national mobilization to win #IARUHF Championship 2025 🙄 #hamradio

But... what about the #weather?

TV says, rain everywhere, thunderstorms in most of the country.

Yet models don't seem to confirm that fear. Sunday afternoon will be worse though.

#SN0HQ itself have armed themselves too this year. "Fresh blood", new captain, new stations participating. And an adif-to-cabrillo log converter. #IARUHF

The text also outlines two more strategies to help #SN0HQ win #IARUHF 2025.

One is to make your call a few Hz off the SN0HQ's frequency - both in CW & SSB.

The second strategy is more curious though - we're encouraged NOT to call other HQ stations that are likely to win! ❌🥸

Are you in? 😂

The same text appeared in PZK's news bulletin, with a graphic comparing the number of domestic contacts of #DA0HQ and #SN0HQ in #IARUHF 2002.

PZK/SN0HQ believes German victories in the contest are largely the result of compatriots' efforts, hence the mobilization of Polish radio amateurs this year.

For those interested, here's a lineup of Japanese HQ stations during IARU HF Championship 2025 🗒️ www.jarl.org/Japanese/2_J...

Tbh, I've heard many HQ stations, and even more via remotes, but 8NxHQ's had always been a difficult catch for some reason, especially direct at my QTH 🙄
