Station Description: ICOM-775 + Alpha 87A (SO1R)
                               second rig being on repair,
                               blown up front end during test run
Antenna(s): Cushcraft X-9, dipole, loop, vertical for low bands
Software:  WriteLog V 10.41B + MMTTY V1.65
Operating time: 19 hours
Remarks:
Great surprise to print a lot of famous contesters from around
the world at a high level of participation in a new contest.
I did not care about the discussion on the rules. Even the most
sophisticated innovation could not compensate for all different
geographical and other disadvantages (see ARI, ANARTS).
e.g. located in the center of EU it is often much easier for me
to work DX rather than those close up EUs (HB9, OE, LX..).
24 hours is quite ok, at least for me Old Man (62).

The most important thing is to have fun, and I had fun ...
...but not on 80m: slow going due to high QRN level here.
Missed many USA mults on 40m not hearing me in QRN.
20m was somewhat open to NA during the whole night,
but I could only work some big guns in 'single shot mode'.
10m was much better than expected, no NA or JA though.
Percentage of stations worked from:
EU (without DL)   NA    AS    DL    SA   OC    AF
         54.9            14.6   12.5  11.8    5.0   1.0     0.2
amout of all time new callsigns in this contest:  20.1%

Thanks to the sponsors of the first DL-DX RTTY Contest
and special thanks to all who were kind enough to work me.
73 de Joe, DJ5JK
