Wow! What a test of human endurance. Talk about poor conditions. I had planned
to make a big effort in this contest but the poor propagation and some
unexpected chores scuttled that plan.
Was great to work the stations I did. Thanks to all those who pulled my LP sigs
out of the noise. A couple things I didn't like: the number of stations that ask
for many repeats and then give the shortest possible exchange. Chances are if it
was difficult for me to be heard, I will find it just as tough to copy you.
Also a number of stations I worked did not initially transmit the time. Since
conditions were so bad anyway I'd simply explain that I needed their time
especially as a number of them gave me number "001" as their
exchange. What I could not understand is the number of stations with high
serial numbers (050+) who sent a report without the time - making me ask for a
repeat.
The highlight for me was working 7QAA for a new band (10m) and a new mode. Also
managed to work a few stations on the four bands I was active on (K7ABC, AD5XD,
AA4DD, w6SX,and maybe one or two more.
What is surprising to me is how open 10m seemed to be from my QTH. Mostly I
would see no-one on the band but once I called CQ when I would get a response
it would be 59 suggesting the band to be wide open. Am no expert but maybe 10m
was displaying its VHF face this week-end. (I am also active on 6m and we've
been seeing some great propogation this last week - trans-atlantic and into
Asia).
Thanks again to all who made the week-end efforts worth it. Thanks too to BARTG
for their continued sponsorship. This is one of my favourite RTTY contests so
look forward to seeing you next year.
