Braco E77DX, Filipe CT1ILT, Sven DJ4MX, Chris ES7A, Mike SJ2W, and Dave 9A1UN - Contest Crew Europe - return from the CQ Worldwide SSB contest with stories that stretch from the Canary Islands to the Arctic edge of Europe. This isn’t just a recap—it’s contesting at its most competitive, collaborative, and chaotic.
Braco E77DX may have rewritten the record books at EF8R, logging 11,000 QSOs and 27 million points over 48 relentless hours. At ES9C, Chris ES7A battled blown amplifiers, runaway rotators, and led a multi-multi team split between grizzled veterans and first-timers. Mike SJ2W surged into Europe’s top tier thanks to rare polar path openings that let him run the high bands long after others faded—landing him third worldwide and likely first in Europe.
Filipe CT1ILT, the engineering mind behind CR6K, built a switching system from scratch—custom boards, full in-band transmit, touchscreen control—only to face a router failure minutes before go time. The system held. The vision proved out. Sven DJ4MX quietly pushed low-power limits from home. Dave 9A1UN slugged it out in the Single Band trenches. And tying it all together: the online scoreboard, now the heartbeat of high-level contesting. #onlinescoreboard is more than a hashtag—it’s the new mantra.
