Comments:

Was planning to do RDXC CW on Sat and BARTG RTTY on Sun, but ending up having
to
cram both into Sat.  Propagation from Europe was terrible.  I kept switching
between RTTY and CW modes to see if conditions had improved for RDXC but it
never did.  Got a handful of Qs on 15M, which seemed more like the usual lonely
10M ghost town.  A sign of the next few years to come.  I suspect there will be
a lot of SS20 entries this year. 

The vast majority of my Qs were from running NA with a fair number of JAs in
the afternoon.  This was my first contest in which I did much running, and it
was more fun than my usual 100% S&P operation.  Got many callers with low
single digit serials, and thought to myself:  I was that guy not too long ago!


K3 with ACOM 1000 at up to 700W out, SteppIR 3-element beam, N1MM Logger+ with
Fldigi, MMTTY, and TrueTTY all decoding in parallel and doing equally well,
though with few Europeans to really put them to the test.
