Map of stations which participated IARU R1 UHF Contest 2007 on 70 & 23cm.

A long time I had been interested in maps of active 432 and 1296 MHz stations during main UHF contest in IARU Region 1 so I made following maps. As a contest I chose October UHF Contest 2007 because of quite good tropo propagation in the main UHF European space and lot of good available data like EDI logs and official results lists. (More when UHF Contest 2008 was affected by bad weather with bad icing..) So as a data source I used more then 10 official results and more then 50 EDI logs of bigger stations from OK, OM, 9A,YU + logs from F/OK4W, SK7MW, DR5A, YU1EV, etc. Less data were obtained from UK, F, YO and ES area. Similar & more detailed map of 2m VHF contest 2008 you can look up here. From maps you can see that the best chance have stations from hills near OK/DL border or near F/HB/DL Alps. OK1TEH
