Comments:
Cuurent setup: Small LP domestic station (3 fiber elts for all bands...)- No
SO2R (miss a second pair of antennas) - No low bands RX antennas (as for
radials will reinstall when grass stops growing !). So real SO1R/LP "domestic
station"...
Antennas: ground mounted 18m vertical with Icom AT-130 auto-tuner, 2elts
steppIR @12m AGL
Rig: 756pro2, MK2R+, MMTY
Software : N1MM Logger V8.9.0
General:
First TTY contest for quite some time (2006 was my last participation in this
contest). Casual entry with only 19hours on. Has been good to meet with a few
old friends who are still on years after years...
Spots, when available, were useless for a large part... (people using AFSK
should really learn how to spot a TTY station on the cluster...).RTTY
contesting has changed since last time, but everybody seems to remember that my
name is Patrick ! (H.I.)
Band details:
80m was disapointing - only K4GMH worked on states-side(but my vertical is
still in summer cfg - 50 radials missing...). In general, activity was low,
especialy from UA, probably due to the RDA-CW contest... (missed UA and UA9 on
80, who can believe that...).
40m seems working OK, but quite a high level of noise... My RX-perf. was not
that terrible however, as a few DX stations could never hear me, despite solid
copy my side and many attempts... Anyway I've seen better condx, even during
summer (not a single VK/ZL) !
10 and 15m were wide E's open on sunday, but little activity... (however, W1
W2, W4 and W5 worked on 15m sunday, likely on multi-hop E's)
20m was the only band where I could get a decent run going... as usual many
JA's at their evening despite LP (In sections, just missed JA0 and the usual
VE's), but nothing fm OC except KH6.
Summary: Was expecting not more than 1M points, so I'm quite happy with the
result, even though the score is far away from my best results in this contest!
Am I getting too old to compete?
Anyway thanks to all for the Q's and CU soon again on the air...
