Comments:
Great Contest!
We had a lot of fun as first experience on ratty.
We operated just a few hours from the running seat at IO4T. No multiplier
station has been driven.
Due to our spare time, we worked mostly 20 and 40m, 90% of the time during the
daytime.
During the second night, we also used the contest as a benchmark for our RX
antennas: a K9AY and a Beverage toward US were switched over every call,
comparing signal srenght and noise level on the spectrum. RTTY can be pretty
useful for such a test.
A list of interesting DX follows:
JA 48
9M 3
ZL 2
VK 3
E21 1
JT 1
BY 3
VR 3
HL 6
DU 2
YB 1
plus KL7 and KH6.
Working condition:
FT1000MP - AL1200
80m: 1/4 wavelenght vertical
40m: Sloping dipoles
20m: 5L HY-GAIN beaming US / KT34A
15m: 5L HY-GAIN / KT34A
10m: KT34A
Software: Win-Test running MMTTY keying through FSK.
We are planning a serious effort for next year, and some minor & serious
activity all over the season.
Thanks you guys for such a fun, work you soon on ratty as IO4T - IQ4AX!
