[RTTY] SPDX RTTY Contest

[Thomas Giella KN4LF]

The SPDX was my first RTTY contest. I worked 80, 40 and 20 meters. Here in central Florida I noticed much disruption of incoming signals due to multipathing and also lightning QRN. I printed allot of strong DX stations from Europe and South America but most of the Europeans were received at 50% printing or worse.

Some representative DX stations worked include HK6PSG, I1COB and 9A5W.
