Comments:
Band conditions started bad and got worse as the weekend wore on. I seemed
to run out of stations to work on the bands. No comparison to the spectacular
condix for RTTY Roundup. But, I still made 50 more QSO's than last year. And it
is always good to work some new ones on RTTY: V31, KG4 and PZ5. All those were
worked in the first 6 hours. The one that got away: YN2S
Always good to see new callsigns on RTTY, like KV7DX.
Lots of new 2x3's with KF and KG prefixes. One new one cracked me up.
We were in a hopeless pileup for some DX station, and some 2X3 was sending
phonetics for their call!! Like: KF4XYZ KILO FOXTROT FOUR XRAY YANKEE ZULU
KF4XYZ
Just when I thought I mastered the N1MM/MMTTY combo, I really fumble fingered
a lot this time. I apologize to everyone I sent 000 to. Embarrassing.
Amazing how many prefixes there are in Alaska now. I finally worked the plain
vanilla KL7 on Sunday afternoon (KL7RA). And kudos to all the VE7's! Great
participation up there!
Lets hope for better condix in September for CQ WW RTTY.
