I joined to contesters at 2003 with SSB and have many good scores.And also using CW mode on contests since end 2006.Using low power and single elements antennas.My favorite contest location is Kefken Island(IOTA AS-159).Using here my YM0T call.Antennas are near salt water,looking to NW and noise level is very low as always.If transporting is imposibble to island,I participate to contests from my home QTH,which is also near salt water,but looking S.
My first place results are:
YM0T,IOTA Contest 2003,single op,SSB,low,24h,island:1st of world.
TA2RC/p,CQWW VHF Contest 2003,single op,6m:1st of world.

A very long preparation at home is necessarry for succes
But some lucky men can set a new world record with a simple home made dipole!My first world record with this antenna:CQ WW DX SSB 2004,160,low.I love this band,because money is not everything.First:Right location for contest:)
