Comments:
RTTY contests are second to CW contests for me. We (KE0L, NR0L, N0KBD AND K0OB)
had our usual chat session going on 2M simplex which makes it really enjoyable
during the contest to keep me from falling asleep at the wheel. 80M was great
for acquiring Q's, 40M was good for DX early Sunday morning and 20M was so-so.
Sunday afternoon my amplifier started dropping output power, down to nothing. I
know RTTY contests are rough on amplifiers but I've run a number of RTTY
contests before with the amp and this is the first time it presented this
problem. If I turned the output power down to 300W it would work fine. I'll dig
into this more but if someone can suggest a good tech who can help me out with
this problem then that would be appreciated. It was fun to see Greg/K0OB enjoy
this contest as it was his first RTTY go-around. Now, for the NAQP RTTY contest
in a few weeks.
Here are my DX QSO's:
