DF9IC: 

I have set up my new antenna just the week before the contest weekend,
and thus participated the first time from my new home QTH with
a competitive station. On 1296 I am using an IC275E, a DD9DU transverter,
a new Mitsubishi module (RA18H1213) as 30 W driver stage and a TH308 linear,
resulting in 400 W output. The antenna is 4 x 35 Ele Tonna vertically
stacked. My site is located between Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. It is not
exceptionally high (355 m a.s.l. - close to the Northern Black Forest with
mountains up to 1150 m a.s.l.) but completely open to F, G, PA0, North DL,
Scandinavia and OK. 
I started late at 16:45 UTC because I had to finish the last parts of the
antenna and rotator control still on Saturday. I worked only 1296 single
operator with 8 h of no activity during the night, calling CQ and using
internet (ON4KST chat and cluster) extensively for skeds. This strategy seems
to be better than to make skeds from 432 MHz. 

My result: 

QSO    : 126 
score  : 34383 points 
squares: 41 
DXCC   : 10
