Comments:
I prepared myself to my first serious atempt in RTTY Contesting.
Seems, I was not ready enough to some peculiarities of RTTY contesting.
Freq stealing is common practice during a contests. But I not believed
that is so pupular in RTTY contests. Some smart guys thinks if they have
KWs they are the Kings. In CW you may pull out QSOs even if you are
operating with another five station on a same freq, but in RTTY it's a bit
difficult. Funniest moment was on 40m. After short run of JAs YZ7ED came
on my CQing freq like a bolt from the blue and started CQing ,too....
UNBELIEVABLE but, few min. later YZ7ED told me that I occupied his freq!?
After another few min. I "copleted" YZ7ED's lecture about:
CB, "mother Russia" (!?), Chernobyl (!?) and in conclusion I heard that
I'll die in Hell ....!!! Nothing to add....
I CAN'T also understand LY8X deliberate QRM. At the begining of the contest
quite a few times they were comming close to my running freq (by 0,1-0,3 kc)!
Did they checked my patience????
So, after slow start with low power I decided to finish with full power.
Thanks to all for QSOs, and my excuses to those whom I asked many times
to repeat again callsign or Nr. It was really hard weekend!
