[RTTY] SCC VK4UC SOAB

[John Cashen]

Only operated 10 hours out of the 24.  Conditions and participation were 
mediocre and as a result I couldn't stay glued to the radios.. Qso's and 
qso rates were significantly down here from that of SARTG on the previous 
weekend.  High point was working ZX2B on 10M LP at 1157z.  It was the most 
improbable propagation path I could have imagined!  And then only 3 minutes 
before the end of the contest!

Apologies for those trying to work me on 40 at 7040 from 1000z to 1145z. My 
computer started hanging up repeatedly and for no obvious reason. I finally 
reduced the graphics acceleration and it is got better(?). I did listen and 
called CQ on 80 at 3540 during that period, but there was nothing but noise.

Thanks to the organizers for putting the SCC on. Just a suggestion: they 
might get a better turn out if it were on a different weekend.
