Comments:
Thanks to the sponsors of the DL-DX RTTY Contest. Also, thanks to those who get
the pleasure of reviewing all the logs. And special thank to all who were kind
enough to work me.
Comments: Started on 20 meters and first QSO was with FO5PS - that sets an
up-beat outlook for the rest of the contest. Along about 0600Z FK8GX called,
another shot of adrenaline to carry through until end of the contest. 15 meters
was okay although the signals were not as strong as they have been in the past
couple of years. You had to work for just about every QSO on 15. However, 15
did stay open to the stronger Europe stations from the East Coast throughout the
night. 10 meters was hit or miss as you had to be on the band when the
conditions were favorable (limited amount of time) and the stations available.
40 meters did okay, but not as much activity to make it worthwhile to stay on
40. 80 meters was reasonably quite for this time of year. Unfortunately, there
was very little activity - you had to make the activity by asking folks to QSY
from 40 to 80 meters.
The nice level of activity, especially the Europeans, was a surprise for a first
time contest. You have to anticipate the level of activity will increase next
year which may compensate somewhat for the decrease in propagation.
