Comments:
What a great time! This was the third RTTY contest (RTTY RU, WPX and NAQP) that
I have been able to put in a full effort as a single op. I started the contest
S&P on 15 and 20. From 20-21z and 21-22z I was able to establish runs on both
15 and 20M with a 40/hr followed by a 55/hr, which were the best rates I would
see during the contest.
I had planned on taking the final two hours of the contest off so working 190
straight were planned. I ended up taking 55 minutes off starting at 2335. I
came back on 40M, which did not last long. When the band went long I moved to
80.
I really need to improve my low band antenna (currently a SteppIR BigIR). The
band was terribly noisy and it seemed many of my calls to East Coast stations
went unanswered. I had hoped for better numbers on 40/80M, but must make due
with what was achieved.
I set my goal of 350 Qs and 125 Mults before the contest. While I didn't match
my Q number, the mults made up for those lost QSOs and I ended up besting my
goal by 3,104 points. All in all I had a good time and felt it was a success.
Thanks to all for the Q's! See you in the next RTTY contest.
