Comments:
I invited some unexperienced contest operators to join in a multi-op effort. My
hope was to show how fun contest operation is, and RTTY is a mode which don't
require the most of operators skills.
The test started up worst possible with severe RFI issues in PCs, and in
addition a heavy aurora the first night. We could barely work into US and JA,
and the qso count was terrible after the first 24 hours.
The conditions improved a lot the second day, and sunday afternoon was good
both on 15 and 10. Great fun with good opening both to NA and SA till after
local sunset.
Modest set-up with K3 as RUN and TS940 as MULT. Antennas were 3 el SteppIR for
20, 15 and 10, with a Windom for 80 and 40 and MULT. A HF9V vertical was
useless due to RFI.
The technical problems made it impossible to operate full time. But I hope my
main goal was met; to show how easy it is to run RTTY contests when the
equipment works as expected.
Thanks for all Qs.

Svein, LA3BO
