Comments:
My firts RTTY contest in nearly 35+ on the air - as a matter of fact I made my
1st RTTY contact ever this year in May!
Lots of fun, but I just wonder how all-band score would look like from here
without 15 meters? That band works like magic and stays opened for almost 24
hours! The rest was more of a pain than it looks from the score. I had a taget
of 2300Q/400mults and 2.7M total before the contest, but mults made all the
differnce. Only spend a good our out of the whole weekend away from the radio,
which shows on the mult score. Going up and down the bands hundreds of times
payed off, opposed to calling CQ endlessly and wait for those 15-20/hour to
call back. 100W is only enough on 15m, other bands are a pain and one ends up
cq-ing in vain. On 20m ONLY W7DO came on my CQ for a new state/prov mult - all
the rest were "hand-picked".
Always thought that the digital modes and RTTY were boring, but I sure changed
my mind after this one!! Chasing mults and the score is as heated/hectic as in
CW or SSB.
