Hi
Well its some time since I last posted here, because its sadly some time since
I was last able to take part in a rtty contest, but I was able to be on for
the RU and it reminded me how much I love doing this!!
I'm no big rig with just 100W to either an inverted L or low inverted V dipoles
for 40/20.

I'm sure I could have done much better by being a bit more organised but one of
the reasons I'm able to be QRV is that I currently have pneumonia so I'm not
really up to being too organised!! Still, I managed 13 hours operation over
the weekend which was more than I expected to do, RTTY contesting is great
because you can do it from a comfy chair without too much stress!
I was well pleased on the Sunday afternoon to be called by a few of you further
states in the US and Canada such as CA, WA (you know who you are!), AZ, AB,CO,
NE and WI. I normally have to go looking hard for such as these, they don't
call me! From the other direction I was also well chuffed to be called by T6AF
and HZ1PS :-) But a big thankyou to anyone and everyone for your QSOs!
As per usual I don't have my own country in the log, in fact it wasn't until
the last hour that I managed to put any UK stations in there! Sadly I never
found you Phil!
What's activity likely to be like for the UKDX rtty? I was on for this
several years ago and found it a bit sparse, I hope to be able to be on next
weekend for it, hopefully it's a bit more popular these days? So look this
way for the double multiplier of GM and AG!!
(heaven forbid - I might even get GM myself!)
Best 73
