All reports sent were 599, unless otherwise noted.
Equipment Description:
Rig: Icom IC-736 running 100w (I like this rig, but it's not very
good for a RTTY contest. RTTY uses LSB and you must use the
standard 2.7kHz SSB filters; there's no narrower choice.)
Antennas: 80/40m ........... 80m dipole @ 30 ft.
20m .............. Force 12 EF-420 4el @ 68 ft.
15m .............. Force 12 EF-415 4el @ 76 ft.
10m .............. Force 12 EF-410 4el @ 84 ft.
RTTY Controller: AEA PK-232MBX
Logging software: I fumbled with CT on a second computer
from my primary computer actually running the terminal
emulator. I tallied the score by hand after the contest.
I better get WF1B for the future!
Soapbox: I enjoy RTTY contests even though I have a compromise
station for RTTY contesting (see above). It was great to work
two new countries (TY and 5X) in this contest.
Club Affiliation: Frankford Radio Club
This is to certify that in this contest I have operated
my transmitter within the limitations of my license and have
observed fully the rules and regulations of the contest.
