Aurora vs Raisa | Bad First Day of CQ WW SSB 2022

- Contesting is one of my HAM RADIO passions.
I worked in CQ WW SSB 2022 as single operator/single band (15m).
But on the first day local Aurora happened - very unlucky: I heard, but almost no one heard me :-(
On the second day without Aurora, I could catch up + 800 QSO!
Have you seen Aurora Borealis/polar lights?

😃 I made a mistake and and left it to myself.
Over 1000 QSOs amazing. If only I could work a HP station for a contest. I am stuck with LP and our little antenna, but you have every reason to be proud.
Dear Yvette, thanks a lot!

Уважаемая R1BIG🙂 Вы гордость нашего HamRadio !
без капли лести и сомнений.
Вы задаёте очень высокую планку ;-)
@@YLRaisa вот, напрасно Вы так. Я бы сказал что именно Вы задаете прочим уровень планки, а я лишь смотрю вверх и восхищаюсь.
Happy new year, 73!
congratulations Raisa on a thousand qso's 73/88, KQ8U
Tnx Joe!
Well done!
Thanks :)
Congratulations, Raisa!! It was a tough journey, but you did it!! So proud of you, as always!! Great to see you!! 73 & 88!!
Hi Phillip. Great to see you too. Thanks :)
Hopefully you were able to pick up some west coast and Hawaii on Saturday night? Conditions were quite difficult from here as well. Your video sums up single operator contesting very well. Fun but also very exhausting and annoying. :P 73 DE LB1TI / LC9A
Yes, just on Saturday night, after a short break of complete calm, the Caribbean stations went.😃
Привет Рая ! Молодец, что участвуешь в соревнованиях и прелставляешь страну. Азарт в радио - наше всё :) Удачи и до связи, 73-88 !
Сергей, спасибо 😊
Fantastic results my friend Raisa! You Elk companion in the red uniform may have brought you some good luck! 73/88.
Yes, Rob! Sure! TNX for this wonderful gift! He helped me against Aurora ;-)
@@YLRaisa Mounties serve and protect!
Nice Raisa...
Love u💝

I want to see the auroras someday, looks fantastic. I didn't know you could see it there.
Ray, now during the period of high solar activity, the northern lights can be seen in St. Petersburg and the latter was visible even in Moscow. This happens very rarely.
Bravo Raisa, Congrats on 1000 QSO, Great achievement, I was one of yr QSO on the second day, I recognised yr new Call and yr voice of course. We had made several contacts b4 but with my other call sign in the past, was a nice moment! Cheers n 73, all the best!
Thanks. It is always nice to meet the station again. See you!
Hi Raisa,
Awesome effort with over 1000 QSO's on a single band. I did not participate this year since my FT-450 has developed a problem and is not usable. I still hope to one day have a QSO with you. You and your family stay safe. 73 WJ3U
Thanks, Don. I passed the Canadian test and got VO1BIG call. Sometimes I am going to be on the air remotely from Canada. It help us to have a QSO! :)
@@YLRaisa Hi Raisa,
That is outstanding. Guess we can say you have a global presence. 🙂Stay safe. 73 WJ3U
@@DonDegidio 😊
Congratulations Raisa on over 1000 qso's during the contest!!! Wow!
I enjoyed the video very much and I admire your dedication and stamina. 73 👍
Hi Susan, TNX for your nice words. "Stamina" :-)
Was good to watch. I m not a Ham contester but it was a really interesting video. Lovely QTH you have there. Best 73s
Thank you. I'm glad you to like it
Wow. A contest warrior. Bravo Raissa! It was impressive. 73!
Well done Raisa on so many contacts with all the challenges of wind, power cuts & bad propagation! ;-)
😆 many challenges 😆
congratulations on your radio achievement, I am no contest and only cw, but i still enjoy my hobby and enjoy your video. good health to you.
Thanks Brian 😀
Very Good!! Congratulations, Raissa...from Brazil! 73!

Thanks Pasquale :)
Congratulations Raisa 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
tnx, Alessandro :)
Excellent .
Many thanks!
I've watched a lot of ham radio videos. I've always wanted to learn and take up the hobby. Seems like a lot of fun!
Daniel, are you already a radio amateur? Or are you just thinking about becoming one?
@@YLRaisa Wow I appreciate your response. No I haven't even started yet other than to locate a study site to begin preparing for the exam. I have no background in electronics so I don't really know what to expect. Until I have a little more knowledge I don't know how to even begin looking at radios and equipment. It all seems a little complicated right now but I'm looking forward to getting started soon.
good work
Impressive. Big station. Great work.
I only have 5w max.
Motters M7TRS 73 👍🏻
I hope the propagation will improve and you will be able to receive DXstations!
@@YLRaisa hope to work you while I am out portable qrp 😁🎄
Congrats on the 1k contacts. That is a really nice setup for a ham shack.
Thanks 👍
Hi Raisa, congrats on meeting your 1000 qso goal, well done and from the video it looks like you had to work hard for it 👍😀
I participated as well but had almost the opposite approach - 40m band, CW with 4Watts qrp and a simple end fed half wave wire. I got 100 QSOs. Different challenge but equally rewarding to get contacts from the Netherlands into the US 7500km away. Conditions were pretty good. You were excited about the LX contact. I was very happy with Madeira Island, out on the Atlantic ocean.
Enjoy your hobby!
73/88 - Robert - PB7RS
It's so great that everyone finds a band and suitable conditions for themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know CW yet :)
@@YLRaisa CW is a nice mode. I did the training on the YT channel “The ham whisperer”. From there on it is pretty much practicing and slowly getting better at it. Takes some time but it’s fun.
That real nice. solar weather does effect the bands world wide even weather systems can effect the bands. love how you use the record feature on the 7300 . I use that for POTA. Parka On the Air. I take my 7300 portable on LiFePO4 Battery works great. I have the DX commander Expedition portable one. is dark green . have the DC commander poles and DX 10 and DX 50 wire as well. The UK got a power boost from Off comm now. Callum is booming to the USA now with a KW. understand the electric . I am in NY,USA and it goes out a lot during storms. I get dry mouth when working lots of stations. the record feature really helps call CQ a lot. I keep water on hand all the time. take breaks to eat as well. The most important thing in Ham radio is your self. love how you show that. when my voice needs a break ,I go digital . like JS8 CALL of FT8 even use SSTV . that can be fun . even the ISS sends SSTV pic's . HAM radio is so many hobby's together . lots of fun. Hoping for some good 6 meters . I made some antenna's just for that band. my goal is to work all bands POTA . that HF/VHF/UHF . 73's
HAM radio is so many hobby's together! I agree completely. TNX for your ideas, 73, Raisa
You have impressive ham radio communication skills Raisa😎88
not everyone agrees with you - I get many corrections to my operating style :-)
@@YLRaisa Those are some beautiful clips of the auroras above your antenna tower there Raisa, not so good for propagation I understand though at your high Lats ;-)
WOow..well done!!! Congratulations !!
73's from Patrick
🎙😉👍🎚🎛📡⚡️⚡️
Thanks, Patrick
Hello Raisa, I hope you did well in CQ WW SSB contest - 1011 QSO 's on 15 meter band is very good
TNX John, I did my best in that conditions. BTW: you have been my subscriber for more than 3 years ;-)
Well done, an awesome effort Raisa 😊
😃 tnx Billy
Congratulations Raisa wow terrific job 73 from kb2uew
Thanks a lot
Gratuluję !!!! Podziwiam wytrwałość i wykonanie tak wielu QSO. Best 73 & 88 ...

Ciao Raisa, you are a very strong contest YL! Hope to hear you soon in dx mode (I'm not a contester hi hi). Happy to see you agn. My vy best 73. IZ3GOA Sergio.
Hi Sergio. See you in the bands!
Дважды участвовал в cq ww. Только отработавший двое суток в этом зубодробительном контесте Вас поймет! 1000 qso один оператор, один диапазон! Мой Вам респект! До встречи на диапазонах! 88! 73!
Спасибо 😊. Какой у вас позывной?

Hello Raisa,
thanks to see you well on YT! Good job on 15m! If I had known you were qrv on 15m, I would have looked for you! 🙂
The decision on which band I will work on came in a day from the contest. :)
Absolutely great!! Too bad I couldn’t work you again!! Keep having fun Ham radio friend. Love your videos!!
TNX, see you on the bands, Raisa
Потрясающий результат! Восхищаюсь Вами, Раиса!
Спасибо, Андрей! :)
Great to see you Raisa😊. **Hug**. Thank you for the video from CQ WW.
TNX Simon! :)
Another great video, Raisa! Congratulations on over 1000 QSOs. A beautiful Aurora, and a beautiful and skilled operator! 😀
☺ thanks Tim
Good evening l am able respectful yourself responding from Nepal also watching to listen
The film called "Frequency" was good! 2:16 reminded me of that.
I need to watch this film. :) I just watched the trailer. It's pretty cool.
Awesome! Your energy is contagious, any your setup looks very cosy.
Congrats for your QSOs.
Hi Paul, tnx, but my energy was over at the end of Contest :-)
Well Done Raisa. 1000 QSO's in the contest log that's doing very well for a single op/single band. I know how hard contesting can be sometimes when the conditions are not good. I missed this years CQ WW SSB contest but hope to be in it next year. I hope you caught up on some sleep. You looked very tired and worn out by the end of it.
Robert, I hope to meet you in the contest next year.
The next day I had the opportunity to relax a bit. 🙃
Brilliant result Raisa. Well done. Keep up the good work. 73's De Syd EI3IEB
Thanks Syd :)
Hi!, Raisa. Very nice radioshack. Do you work also on 11mt?. Because one dude i know, tell me he copy you sometimes calling on 11 mt. 73/51
No, I never worked on 11m, I only worked on 10m - Amateur Radio band.
@@YLRaisa ok, Raisa. Ty so much for answering my question. Good radio and many dx. 73 😉👍
Congrats Raisa! You are a real powerhouse on the radio! Good job, keep it up and I hope you have good health and good DX in 2023 de KØPIR
Thanks a lot, Richard. It's nice to have comments from you. 😊
New subscriber loved the video ! 73 W4ZTX North Alabama
Gary, welcome to my channel. Thanks for subscription. 😃
The aurora sound was very interesting, I had never heard them before. I managed about 400 QSOs from a suburban end-fed low power, and was pretty exhausted. Running Classic, i used up most of the 24 hours allowed. Many don't like contests, but they really sharpen many operating and listening skills. Also a great way to get some elusive DXCC. Well done to you for reaching 1000+ QSOs, great achievement.
Thanks for the great comment and your thoughts. I agree that working in contest gives a good experience. Also, many wrote to me that they use contests to recruit DX :)
During the solar cycle of about 20 years ago I noticed an interesting phenomenon on the 27 mhz CB band: polar path flutter. This would occur after the sun had set for a few hours and the West Coast stations had faded away. Now that 27 mhz is in worldwide use it really never shuts down at night.
Probably the strangest thing I've ever experienced is hearing my own echoes on 20 meters via "grayline" propagation. I was working a British station and we both had echoes. The echoes are caused by the signal following the grayline around the world and it takes 1/7 of a second. Multiple echoes equals multiple trips around the world!
Well done, Raisa, I admire your will to work in radio amateurism, I admire those results in the competition, best regards 73, E75LAD
Thanks 😊
Thank you for your super video of Contest. I wish you God's blessing for these days in Advent. Jesus loves you so much. Let's praise him, dear Raisa !
Thanks, Dietmar
dear Raisa congratulations for the 1000 QSO,
I was there too, but only with 56 QSO, hi,
73 & 88 Bruno DL7UN
The main thing is that you took part and gave points to other participants. I hope most of your QSO were with DX 😉
@@YLRaisa Yes, there were many DX-QSOs, I had worked on all continents only with a long-wire antenna, good luck and success
Great work! The sound of the aurora sure is weird but fun to hear. Thanks.
Interestingly, depending on the location of the aurora, it can interfere, or it can help receive DX stations

Мария, большое спасибо. Да, следующий день я была совершенно без сил. Но поняла, что второй день, когда прохождение было хорошим, был намного интереснее и динамичнее. :) Боюсь представить, что было бы, если бы оба дня были такими :)

Congratulations Raisa with your 1000 QSO's. I didn't make it that far during the contest. Only got 711 QSO's. 73s KC99WY (Madrid-Spain)
It's a good result! Thanks!
Try VLF natural radio in auroral time and hear "alien voices, souns" from space ( frog, bird like chorus ).
Awesome & Congratulations YL Raisa from the USA (State of Tennessee). I haven't seen your Pretty & Beautiful face online much lately. Have you been posting? It may be an error on my part.
Not on your part, Bruce. I really made only 1 post in FB and nothing here in YT in last 2 months, because of difficult times. My smile does not correspond well with the actual situation...
YL Raisa I am sorry to learn of your difficult situation. I shall Pray for you if you don't mind. You have a very Beautiful Smile by the way.
I appreciate the Red ❤️ Heart YL Raisa. THANK YOU!
May I Please ask you a question? How does someone responding to you add the Heart at the "bottom" of the message, NOT "in" the Message from the Sender like I just done above?
Stupid question I know but I haven't been able to figure it out. TIA.
Your English is great👍
Thank you :) I would like to speak better. I hope I will :)
Sweet setup! 👍 You did great in spite of the difficult propagation conditions 🍻
Yeees, it wasn't easy :)))) TNX

Hello again Raisa,
Many thanks for another fantastic video darling. You are a great asset, and Ambassador to Amateur Radio. I not only look forward to talking to you on the radio at some point soon, but I would also love to meet you one day.
I wish to Congratulate you on your achievements since you have been licensed, & I hope that one day you will add an English UK Full Amateur Radio License to your collection.

@@YLRaisa Gracias por tu respuesta, YL Raisa. Te escribo en castellano porque mi inglés es muy pobre. Hablé mucho de mí en el comentario anterior, ahora quiero felicitarte por el esfuerzo realizado, que se ve claramente en tu expresión de feliz cansancio al final de las jornadas. Es evidente que haces la radio con amor y eres un ejemplo maravilloso para que muchas YL se acerquen y se interesen por esta hermosa actividad que hermana a los pueblos. Hago poco SSB y menos digimodos, salgo mayormente en CW , pero espero algún día "cruzar antenas" contigo. 73 de LU7CRA desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.
