Comments:
As I enter into my second full year of RTTY contesting I am starting to get
the
hang of this mode, Last year I only made 88 Q's in this test while I was in
recovery from back surgery
Had a lot more fun this year in spite of operator errors (sorry I was such a
lid
in my exchange to W4UK Jerry) and a couple times when I was hitting the
wrong
macro (repeatedly) thinking I was CQ'ing but in reality I was repeating the
last
station I had worked' report. (Was not paying attention to which function
key I
was hitting) my apologies to anyone who sat and watched my periods of
lidness...
I had terrible noise on both 40 & 80 which made for a lot of repeats -
thanks to
those who hung in there for me. For whatever reason Don AA5AU was pw when he
called me on 80m - maybe he had tried to rotate the dipole?!? ;-)
Huge thanks to the DX that called in on 15 & 20, was the highlight for me on
10-20m as I couldn't get anything going on these bands. First hour of 28
almost
made me quit early - glad I hung in there.
For a change I didn't get squeezed off my run frequency by the High Power
boys,
one of these days I am going to hook up my RTTY equipment into the 87A at
AI9U's
station to see what I can do running high power :-), but for now I really
enjoy
when everyone has to slug it out with a 100 watts
Thanks for the Q's, thanks to those who came and played on the SMC team.
