100% S&P: And completed a QSO with pretty much all stations heard
Logger: N7YG Digital Engine >> CQ WPX Contest Log Version 4.1
My first attempt at the CQ WPX RTTY and I felt I did OK; still getting used to
RTTY. Whereas PH is raucous, and CW is still intense for me, RTTY contesting
is
almost too slow. I found that just moving up the waterfall was the most useful
S&P method, as clicking on a spotted station (or the band map) really
didn't put
you where the station was transmitting.
Nothing was heard on 10, 15 was OK, 80 was noisy as expected, so 40 & 20
were the more useful bands. Never heard a W1 or W2, or local states ME, CT,
RI, VT!
And why do some stations send their exchange as 599-nnn-nnn rather than 599 nnn
nnn. With the dashes, the software can't grab the serial number. Plus, there
were many stations who didn't confirm the QSO -- and went right to the next
QSO.
As the SN was one higher than mine, I assumed they really did get my SN, but
who
knows? (Only the LCR knows...)
