Comments:
EVERYTHING at N4KG is Broken, Damaged, or Seriously Out-of-Date, including the
operator :-(
My primary amp died before the contest while calling a DXpedition on 12M RTTY
and there was only ONE tube lit in my old SB-220 after a Loud Bang which I ran
at 400 Watts during the contest. I used an Icom 746PRO Friday and Saturday and
my trusty Icom 746 on Sunday. The Adjustable DSP Filters in the 746PRO worked
well, even when reduced to 250/300 Hz Bandwidth.
My Focus was on working New RTTY Band Countries, especially on 10 and 15 Meters
which meant that I completely ignored the Low Bands Friday night. Saturday I
installed my old Field Day corner fed Delta Loop with an apex of 48 ft for 40
Meters (since the coax has still not been replaced to my CC 2L40) and was
pleased how well it worked into Northern and Eastern Europe and even off the
side to JA/SA. Most (>95%) contacts were made S&P and I worked very few USA
stations.
I was thrilled to pick up 48 new RTTY countries on 10 Meters including 32
Europeans, 4 Asians (A6 HZ JA OD), and 3 from Oceania (KH2 KH6 KH0).
15M produced 15 new RTTY Countries including BY CP ER ES JW OD OJ0 OX
Overall, I worked 3 All Time New Ones on RTTY (BY CP EY)
I expect that every RTTY record will have been broken after this outstanding
weedend!
