I'm relatively new to RTTY contesting, and this is my second
attempt with this contest. The good news: I more than
doubled my score from last year. I'm starting to understand
RTTY, and I like the laid-back attitude. (I still don't
understand why so many hams add extraneous characters to
their exchange!)
Whereas others found 20 to be the best band, I found 40
to be so. My 40M antenna is reasonable; my 20M fixed
dipole is no match even for my simple Moxon at 36' in Woburn
MA. I've been concentrating on the low bands here in ME
so this is not unexpected. Even a simple tribander would be
much better on 20 & 15.
Still -- I had fun!
73 -- Larry -- W1DYJ
