Comments:
Great way to kick off the RTTY contest season. An interesting contest,
i.e. all-time high Q-count but lower score than last year. Mults, mults,
mults, they just weren't there for me. Thanks to Don, AA5AU for all helpful
information he provides and some one-on-one Dutch uncle time regarding USB
serial adapters. Concerning the 1A4 fiasco on Saturday 20M, some have said
that the DXpedition should have had priority use of the bands. I guess I was
absent from class the day that rule was taught; this is coming from a DXer
and an avowed RTTY DXer at
that. This contest occupied a 30 hour window of the weekend and the solution
was simple: 1) the 1A4 operation could have joined the contest as many other
DXpeditions have done over the years or 2) simply operated on the WARC bands
for that time period. Oh well, it was a great contest and by all accounts,
it should just get better from here on. Thanks for all the Qs.
