It was my fastest RTTY contest with more than 30 QSO's per hour over the
entire operating time.
Not so much stations using AFC while S&Ping as in the last contest! (?)
Lowlights: Poor conds for DX on 20 m (only 27 DX-QSO's on this band).
Remarks:
I think all op's should use at least a space or CR/LF at the beginning and a
space at the end of their transmission. That makes it a lot easier to copy at
the other side and doesn't cost as much time as repeating all.
I think all op's should store only 5 times the serial number or the respective
contest exchange into one F-Key. It is not very useful to repeat the full
exchange with callsigns, hallo and so on if I need the number only.
I did never use packet radio assistance in any contest. But now I think that
could be a possibility to improve my score. Is that right?
73 + 55
Wolf, DL6JZ
