KR7X - 2009 CQWW RTTY Contest

Fall is here and another installment of the CQWW RTTY contest has been
completed at the Smoke Ranch Contest Station.

As always; a heartfelt thank-you to Brad and Ruth who hosted me yet again for
this madness, they are the best.

This year’s operation was without any major hitches, and I am more
comfortable with SO2R and the station set-up was just about perfect. I have
come to realize that ergonomics are what makes it easier to have significant
"butt in the chair" time. This is what helps to attempt a serious effort in any
48 hour contest.

The conditions were very good and a great improvement over the last couple of
years. 20m and 40m were significantly better than the last several years,
especially in the early afternoon where the DX used to disappear for several
hours from here until the JA's and Pacific would start to show up. 15m was not
so good, 10m sucked and I’ve got to get more serious about 80m!

My goals were to improve from last year’s 1400 Q's and 1,100,000 plus/minus
points. I accomplished this and feel that, on the whole, I did the best I could
given the conditions. 

I must close with the observation that it was FUN, and that is what this is all
about. Thanks to all the stations that shared in the festival and to those I
QRM’d or couldn't work, sorry.

Brad/Ruth thanks for hosting me yet again.

Ciao and 73
Hank / KR7X
