Comments:

Great Contest!

We had a lot of fun as first experience on ratty.

We operated just a few hours from the running seat at IO4T. No multiplier
station has been driven.

Due to our spare time, we worked mostly 20 and 40m, 90% of the time during the
daytime.
During the second night, we also used the contest as a benchmark for our RX
antennas: a K9AY and a Beverage toward US were switched over every call,
comparing signal srenght and noise level on the spectrum. RTTY can be pretty
useful for such a test.

A list of interesting DX follows:

JA  48 
9M  3
ZL  2
VK  3
E21 1
JT  1
BY  3
VR  3
HL  6
DU  2
YB  1

plus KL7 and KH6.

Working condition:

FT1000MP - AL1200

80m: 1/4 wavelenght vertical
40m: Sloping dipoles
20m: 5L HY-GAIN beaming US / KT34A
15m: 5L HY-GAIN / KT34A
10m: KT34A

Software: Win-Test running MMTTY keying through FSK.

We are planning a serious effort for next year, and some minor & serious
activity all over the season.

Thanks you guys for such a fun, work you soon on ratty as IO4T - IQ4AX!
