Comments:
Relaxed part-time effort, mostly 15m, 100w. Since RTTY Roundup allows
all digital modes, I decided I would split my time between RTTY and
PSK31. It's been over two years since I last used PSK and I thought it
would be fun to revisit that mode. Had more success with it on
Saturday because the PODXS PSKFest was also on-going. I don't know if
it was by design or by accident, but the RTTY Roundup and the PSKFest
have the same exchange, making it very easy for
contesters from each contest to work each other. I wonder if a few PSK
ops wandered up into the RTTY band because I did see a few stations
send "PSE K" at the end of their RTTY transmissions.
Sunday morning right after sunrise I had hoped to capitalize on the
good solar flux numbers and work EU on 15 meters. I soon learned that
at winter solstice it's a brief window here in N. California. Shortly
after the sun rises here the sun sets in EU. Thanks to the RTTY and
PSK ops for the Q's.
