Comments:
A part time effort and the first semi-serious effort on RTTY. I really had no
expectations before the contest. I worked on and off during the weekend and
slept at night. The A index at 13 the whole weekend and being far up in the
north is a difficult combination. We had some propagation into USA but the
bands never really opened. I neither heard nor worked some easy states. I still
miss NE to complete my WAS on RTTY. Sunday was even worse. 15m did not open even
marginally to Japan as on Saturday. On the other hand there was a good opening
to Japan on 20m. I had some issues with antenna switching on Sunday forcing me
to use a makeshift low dipole on 80m. It was also impossible to switch the
directions on Sunday. Otherwise everything worked fine. Working DXCC on 15m and
catching some very nice DX from Pacific was the highlight of the contest.
Equipment: FT-1000MP, 400W PA, monoband yagis & Win-Test logger with AFSK.
