Comments:
I hadn't planned to operate, but on Monday my wife told me she had to work a
long shift on Saturday. It has been a few years since my last RTTY contest,
and I couldn't even remember how to run RTTY with my various radios. I do
have an OMNI VII now though, so I had TenTec FedEx out a USB-to-ACC port
cable.
Amazingly unbelievebly simple hookup!
The monsoons (thunderstorms every evening) keep me off the air all summer, but
they ended last week. I usually disconnect and unplug EVERYTHING at the tower
and in the shack, so it was nice to see everything holding up to high power
RTTY contesting after sitting idle for 4 monthes....
I wish I had SO2R running, but I'm not very technical, and it would have taken
me a long time to figure it out. There were some slower times CQing on 10/15,
it would have been nice to have worked more than 15 DX countries on 20M :)
Distance based scoring would sure be nice. Especially in a totally computer
dependent mode like RTTY. How tough could it be to have N1MM set up to
calculate
this?
Thanks for the Q's !!
