Low activity and poor conditions did not help to make this new contest a great
event... On top of that, 40m was unusable due to high CW activity and the
spectrum edges (10 & 80) remained almost "rtty-free" (despite 10m E's open most
of the time, with high CW activity). Did not even consider trying 160 (Data
segment full of SSB stations - btw 1 SSB station is enough to make it full;-)
With 95% of the activity concentrated in the segment 14080-090 and poor DX condx
during the day, 12 hours were more than enough !
The rare good surprises of the weekend are called: 5W0DL, FO5PS, 7Z1SJ and TG9SM
(all on 20). Also many new stations (not in the rtty master.dta), so this is a
good sign that TTY activity keeps growing...
Hope this contest can find a better place in the calendar, that more UK
stations can join and that they all learn about their area - could not log
several UK stations as they came back with 001style report or invalid area ;-)
Anyway thanks to all who called, see you in the next one... and happy hollidays,
if you are taking them...

PS: Upgraded N1MM - noted a few improvements... Only problems experienced are
probably due to unsufficient memory on my laptop (software getting very slow,
until reboot...). Wanted to try the SO2V features (S&P while CQ'ing using the
trx dual-watch), but the 2 VFO's handling is not really operational (at least
with the 756), so gave-up...
At least the dupes are now removed from the QSO summary, and the new statistics
screen is a great feature. Also finaly found that you have to set CI-V trans to
OFF to get good bandmap response (the opposite with mixW... works better with
CI-V trans ON).
Anyway great value for money!
