[RTTY] ZL2BR SCC SOABLP

[Frank Hunt]

This is how it went down, down this way.

The SCC contest is a new one for me, so was not sure 
whether to be serious or not. Anyway when came the 
bewitching midnight hour, I listened and called, and called 
and listened, and had amassed a total of four contacts in 
the first hour. My S-meter hardly ever moved off the stop, 
ho and hum I thought, this could be a slow one, my bed is 
the place I should be.

0700 local, 1900utc, was restart time, and band condx and 
activity still not much to get excited about. 10m was good 
for a few VK, JA and US stations, but where was everybody? 
Anyway between domestic and other chores and meals, I 
plodded on. 0400-0600 utc was good for SP US and LP 
Europe on 20m, but then in the very last hour 15m really 
came alive, I had a pipeline to Europe on SP, and scoring 
rate was probably best I have ever experienced in a RTTY 
contest. Then suddenly someone bunged up the pipe, it 
was midnight again!

But hey, interesting contest in so much as the type of multi 
exchange has a location equalization factor.
