Wow...what a weekend !
There where about 12 contest going on hf ... the wpx rtty is one of my
favourites. It is all about prefixes instead of being in a rare zone/dx country.
I like the max. 30 hour period for single operators and the extra points for
40/80m qso s.
I was well prepared with extra antennes and goals the only unknow parameter whas
the propagation but this time the condx where the best in months.
The weather condx where severe during the weekend: snow, rain (qrn) an very
windy but my temporaly wire antannes where holding up.
The extra points for lower band qso s are very welcome and so the new prefixes
in Europe due to new operators coming from VHF.
Despite some qrn everything went smootly, not very high rates (max. 60/hour)but
I kept going. I had the feeling that I was almost every hour on a good band.
I worked many JA on 20 m band at 12.00z on sunday.
The "OO" prefix was a good thing to use and an advantage.
With the beam almost to the Northpole I made a lot of USA an VE qso s in all
call area s, the multi counter was counting fast.
With the 40 m antenna I worked JA with only 50 watts after I was setting the ALC
to low in the heat of the battle.
The receiver in the Mark V with roofing filter and narrow I.F. INRAD filters is
an advantage on such crowded bands. I was able to dig in the mud as never
before. Or stations could come closer to me without interference.
My equipment was holding strong.
I used fully so2v capacities of the mark v (single operator two vfo's even on
different bands, using two decoding windows ), the cluster was used for multi's
during the second part of the contest.
I reveived many "letter"reports eg "pqp", stations off freq, ... but the rtty
operators is growing and learning.
I believe that the participators and scores in rtty contest will increase in the
future.
Thanks for al the qso 's
