Comments:
This was a Multi-operator, Single-transmitter operation with three ops
remote from the fabulous mountaintop station on Mount Umunhum
maintained by Kevin K6TD.
Since we did well in WW-Digi (1st USA, 3rd World) we thought we
could also perform well in FT Roundup. Tom ND2T and Mork K6UFO
had operated (and won) this contest before, when it was 10m RTTY,
then FT8 Roundup, so we knew the basics.
We used the same configuration as WW-Digi, with VPN, Flex
software, internet logbook, etc. Praise to Kevin K6TD for setting
up and keeping this running. Only Mork K6UFO had problems with
his internet connection so we switched remote operators while we
worked on it. K6TD solved it so everyone could participate from
their own home.
20m carried the load all day, 40m all night and early morning.
Brief periods on 15m brought fresh QSOs. 80m had noise problem,
and we never used 10m. Rate was generally 20 to 30 per hour. Almost
all on FT8, but a little FT4 when operator needed an adrenaline rush.
QSOs were 70% from North America, 16% Asia, and everywhere else
was appreciated. We took four hours off at night, and finished
early before a boring last two hours. K6MTU station is excellent,
we could work deep Asia and far away Europe with only 100 watts.
We did better than expected, and made one more QSO than last year's
MO winner, but 13 less Mults. A fun event, with some technical fun,
operating fun, and fun chats on Slack with the team.
