Comments:
No other Rtty contest in the past has come close to this one for me.
Not much station-wise has changed. Still using low power, and a small yagi
at 10m with a P133 computer and Writelog. The only difference was the
integration of MMTTY with WriteLog and that seemed to handle the weak
signals better. I often copied signals clearly that did not appear on the
S-meter and were even difficult to hear audibly without cranking up the
volume. I did forget a few times to shut off the AFC and return the frequency
to center when going from running to S&P. Thanks to Don AA5AU who reminded
me that I was off frequency early in the game so hopefully this did not cause
too many problems after that.
Conditions this weekend bode well for the CQWW phone contest. Hope to see you
all then.
