Comments:

Always a pleasure to take part to CQ WW RTTY.
Equipement was IC-7600, running SO1V with 80w, without interface, all decoded
with internal decoder, and all callsigns taped on keyboard to send and to log
(backup never used). Hadn't enough time to configure Microham USB III and N1MM,
with the tranceiver, before the contest. Will improve it for the next year...
Antennas OB 11-5 for 20/15/10, 2 elts on 40m and inverted V dipole for 80.
Propagation could have been better especially on 15m sunday afternoon UTC when
K index dropped to 5 and so conditions to NA were reduced to minimum. In the
same time 10m offered a short and good surprise with reports S 9+ with West
indies, SA, AF, Middle East and some parts of EU. Unfortunately, to many
contesters don't take care about 10m opening during minimum solar cycle so we
could have had many more stations to work during this nice opening.
Result is satisfying in this conditions as I made almost same score (1.673.000
last year) with more QSO but less multipliers (that said I think that I could
have made much better on 15m even with this propgation).
C U next year.
