The SPDX was my first RTTY contest. I worked 80, 40 and 20 meters. Here in
central Florida I noticed much disruption of incoming signals due to
multipathing and also lightning QRN. I printed allot of strong DX stations from
Europe and South America but most of the Europeans were received at 50%
printing or worse.
Some representative DX stations worked include HK6PSG, I1COB and 9A5W.

Propagation was not to be found Saturday morning in Missouri. I had just 28
contacts in the first 1 1/2 hours. Many many "AGN ?" messages received and
sent, especially to Europe. I was wondering if there was something wrong
with my signal. If there was, I sure would appreciate someone telling me
what they heard. I really expect this is what we can expect as Cycle 23
continues to decline. I did mostly S&P. The longest run I got calling CQ was
four calls and they were all USA. I was pleased to find Serge, FO5PS, again
and work him.
QSO's = 102 Pts. = 617 QTH = 5 DX = 38 Cont. = 6
Claimed score = 159,186
See you in VOLTA 73 Dick KS0M
