Comments:
My third year with this contest. I'm really starting to like RTTY
contests. My first goal was to beat last year's score of 12K. When
I met that I then set a goal of 17K, 10% over last year's "best" MA
score. When I met that I figured I would just continue and have fun.
I am an FT8 affectionado -- but I decided to stay with RTTY as it
just seems more "contesty". FT8 is great for DX, but it seems too
mechanical to me for contesting. I did hear/see a lot of FT8 and
just skipped over those portions of the bands. It did seem that
RTTY signals were farther up the bands this year. (I saw an email
from someone who said they saw two FT8 Qs INSIDE the two RTTY tones
from another Q. Certainly possible.)
I did have a secondary goal of Qs with the last four states I need
for MA 5BWAS: 15M: DE, ME, VT / 80M: AK. Nada. Oh well. I missed
CT & VT on any band!
