Comments:
I borrowed this anniversary call for the weekend to make
me more attractive. It will never be used again in a RTTY
contest as it is time limited and will expire soon. QSL
cards may be sent to SK5PZ via bureau or call book address.
I had to use my old PK-232 as main decoder as I have no license
for 7S5ARA for RiTTY. I noticed that RiTTY is much better than
my unmodified PK232, so I will be back on RiTTY with my own call
next contest.
Using a new uncommon call sign causes confusion among many
contesters, they don't belive what they see on screen so
I had to repeat the call more often than I use to do. There
was also more breakers than normal, I was so far I know
the only 7S5 active in the contest.
Activity was very good and I had lots of fun. Condx was good on
Saturday, Aurora wiped out all bands except 80 for a while
during Saturday evening but bands recovered later in the night
and Sunday condx was pretty good too.
Thanks you all for the QSOs and see you in BARTG.
