CQ/RJ WW RTTY WPX 2002
Four RTTY contests in five weeks is a lot so I had not intended
to enter this one. But I couldn't resist some casual operating that
accumulated to almost 7 hours. 80m only was chosen, the points per
qso rule raising hopes for some interesting activity. No, no, not
for me - the usual stations from UA9 being almost absent and only
3 NA contacts. Even the Europeans seemed not to appreciate good
short skip 80m propagation that could have brought plenty of mults
at 4pt/qso. Highlight: Being called by 4Z4DX and 4X6UU.
Lowlight: The many stations giving their call and serial number
only ONCE, often even without leading/trailing CR necessitating
MANY requests for repeats. And there was again a vast amount of
spurious signals originating from too much soundcard power into SSB
modulators.
Here comes my result:
