Comments:
Although I've been licensed for 30+ years, it's only been in the last couple
months that I've gotten involved in RTTY contesting. This contest was true
excitement and pure adrenelin from start to finish. It was only my 5th RTTY
contest, but I've been trying to get progressively better each time. My initial
goal was to make 300 Q's, but as you can see I overshot that by a little... I
can attribute this to the overwhelming worldwide activity and band conditions.
But, having a background in HF communications and ionospheric conditions helped
as well. Thanks to all who participated and I'll see ya'll on the bands in the
next RTTY contest.
