Comments:

This was a fun 24 hours contesting with not nearly the number and severity of
issues I encountered in the September CQ WW RTTY Contest.  Thanks to all
participants, serious or otherwise, because it makes it great for everyone.  I
appreciate all callers, many of whom worked me on multiple bands despite not
having per-band mults.  38 of you are in the log on all 5 bands.
I started on 15 and 20 which was, of course, a mistake.  I should have been on
10 instead of 20 which was very muted.  At 19 UTC, I moved the 20-meter radio to
10 and its rate increased 250% (see CBS data below).  In good years, I enjoy
200+ rates in the first four hours of RU.  This year, I finished the first 4
hours with just 761 QSOs, discouraging.  It looked like I was headed for one of
the worst results of my 18 years doing this contest from Aruba.  It seemed I
might have the lowest total QSOs ever, excluding the first couple of years. 
Certainly, it looked as though it would be below 3,000 as it has been since
2018.  So, after the dismal start, I set 3,000 as a stretch goal, pretty sure I
wouldn’t reach it, but it kept me motivated.  At the end, I barely made it, to
3,016.
One high point was logging all 49 US mults by the 4th hour.  As typical, my VE
mults are lacking.  My mult totals are mediocre because it’s hard (for me) to
tune for mults on the second receivers while running rate on two radios,
occasionally dealing with inevitable operational glitches.  I can interleave
S&P QSOs well enough in the two runs, but finding the mults to work is the
issue.  Packet is ideal for that task.
It seemed that participation was lower than prior years, based on a lower
incoming rate of callers and historic QSO totals from this QTH.  Of course,
various band conditions were very different than the last several years, notably
with a fully-functional 10 meters.  My records of the past 18 years of Roundup
from here indicate a downward trend despite cycle variation.  20 meters was
down, perhaps because 10 and 15 attracted so much activity.  My plan to work 20
for a while, perhaps never going to 10 on Saturday, was clearly ill-conceived. 
Opposite of what worked in recent years.
Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.  See everyone on a few weeks for CQ WPX
RTTY.
