A lot has to do whether you are running or S&P.
Your rate will be better if you can get runs going & that 9520 points
will come quicker. One does not have to be too concerned about
tuning as most will call on frequency...a few will have RIT or AFC on
& be off. One can often find clear spots higher in the band...but not
too high. (Watch for other modes.)
If you are S&P & can tune stations easily, one ought to do 40-50/hr.
IMO, make expectations low, but if operations go well & you feel up
to it, keep going.
Good luck...HNY & 73,

Dick

Congrats Rick!

I just got RTTY up and running today with Bob's, W1RH​, help and this weekend will be the first contest.  So, tell me how many Q's, Mults and Time did it take to get 9,520 points?  I also like to set a goal, however I have no basis for this weekend and what is possible for a new RTTY operator.

Well, this will get me primed for this weekend!

In the mail today:

2015 RTTY Roundup

        Single Operator Unlimited Low Power
        San Joaquin Valley Section

        First Place
        9,520 Points

Now I am motivated to get the dipole up a bunch more and go for at least 10k this weekend.

Actually, I will set my goal for 20k.

Have fun,
