Station: My usual small domestic station
see http://f6irf.blogspot.com/2005/08/so2r-minimal-setup.html
Good weekend despite poor conditions.
To be honnest my primary objective was to consolidate my leader place
for the DJ3NG's "top-ten trophy", nothing more...
( http://www.rtty-contest-scene.com/index1.html )
So I focused first on QSO's, forgetting abt QTC's on saturday.
When I passed the 1000-Qmark sunday at 08:35z with 24h of airtime, it was
clear that my primary objective was met... So I started to hunt the QTC'ers.
Once again noticed that as a EU-stn I would make very few QTC-points, if I did
not actively/agresively search for the QTC'ers...very few spontaneous offers
- except a few ones from Ukrainian stations, which I had to decline ;-)
But finaly the "non-strategy" payed; Far better score than last year,
despite smaller antennas (was at F6HYE stn) with much more QSO's and mults,
and almost the same nr of QTC's at the end ! Once again the SO2R-bonus is
obvious here, and QTC'ing only on sunday when the rate is getting low, may not
be that crazy...
10 and 15m have been the good surprises of the weekend, especialy 15m better
than 20 with this low SSN... 20m closed very early, especialy on sunday, and
central and west-US signals strongly affected by auroral flutter.
I suffered from noisy condx (high statics level on 80, local-line QRN on high
bands), making QTC-sending my preferred choice (thanks to all who accepted to
grab my QTC's).
Eqt-wise, some troubles with 2 N1MM serious crashes but fortunately without
major damages, except 10QTC's and a few minutes lost (next time will put a
recorder on a separate PC to recover lost QTC's).
Must also say that a few N1MM features need to be improved for this contest:
QTC's on main radio only, no QSO/QTC distinction, no "section summary",
saving of QTC's sometimes capricious, received NR's turned to 0, etc...
Anyway, it did not work that bad for me, I shouldn't complain...
Thanks to the DARC for organizing, to all for the QSO's and see you from CN
in CQWW-CW.
