[RTTY] ANATOLIAN SOAB VE6YR

[Rfmandmpm at aol.com]

It was an experience. Conditions were not good and many of the Big Guns were 
busy in Dayton. There was no action on 10 meters or on 80 meters, but I did 
manage to find many old friends and some new ones on 20 meters. Thanks to all 
the North American contacts. Nice to see VE7ASK and VE4COX who I missed in 
the last few contests. YV5AAX Aldo and PS7TKS were very strong as well as 
many LU's and CP6EB. Europe and Asia were fairly good with 5B4ANA and ZC4DW 
from Cyprus, A45WD, BX4AF, YE1D and a Big Signal from YB0JIV. I missed GU0SUP 
but managed to work his neighbour, MU3EFB. Thanks to TA1EQ and TA1BM in 
Turkey and to all the JA's. I believe that the longest call goes to 
SV9/DL7VOG/P on the island of Crete.

My biggest disappointment was not the poor conditions nor my poor showing, 
but the intentional interference from two of our fellow operators. Many 
thanks to the sponsors and to the nice people who participated.
