Comments:

Best yet in this one. Had been watching my Qs from last year and at one
point
was 100 ahead of last year. Then the rate started to slow and near the end I
was
wondering if I could even beat last year. But I did and also exceeded 1M
points
for the first time in the CQWW RTTY.

On Sunday morning during a good run on 10m my neighbour called to report RFI
in
the TV, radio and telephone. At that point I gave up 10m and stayed in the
lower
bands the remainder of the contest. RTTY seems particularly bad for TVI etc.
Gotta move to the country.

Best band conditions for quite awhile and hopefully the cycle will hold up
for
the phone one. Good to meet all my RTTY friends this weekend.

Rig: Yaesu Mark V at 100 watts
Antennas: Cushcraft X7 at 56', Alpha-Delta DX-DD as inverted-vee for 40 and
80.
Software: Writelog 10.42C, MMTTY 1.65


73,
Don VE3XD (VE3BUC last year)
