My first Volta RTTY DX contest. Late start in this contest because of work,
sleep and other contests (QSO parties & FISTS). Also listened for CW stations in
the Oregon and Nevada QSO Parties during the Volta contest but did not hear
any.
Best DX were:
* New Zealand (ZL2AMI), 8200 mi, 20M/0400z (1640 mi/watt)
* Argentina (LU8ADX, LU3CT, LV5V), 5100 mi, 20M/0100z-0130z (1020 mi/watt)
* Hawaii (KH6ND), 4500 mi, 40M/0420z & 20M/0338z (900 mi/watt)
Yaesu FT-817 QRP xcvr, 5 watts into a 5-MHz OCF 28-gauge insulated wire stealth
antenna up 40 feet in heavy-foliage trees next to I-75 in downtown Atlanta
industrial area. SGC SG-237 autotuner. Tigertronics SignaLink SL-1 sound card
radio interface. Manual logging with WriteLog 10.40j, no CAT interface.
