[RTTY] OKDX RTTY - GU0SUP SOABLP

[Phil Cooper]

Hi all, and Seasons Greetings,

Only a part-time effort from me, in between household chores, shopping and
various other commitments.
With conditions the way there were, I am not surprised at the lower score
this year. It was hard to work into the US, and I only logged a few.
I started just after 0700, and was surprised to hear all bands except 10m
open. Despite the poor conditions, it was good to log Bob ZL2AMI on 40m and
on 20m.
I also logged ZM3R! Who is that?

Towards late afternoon, 20m started to close, and 15m was as dead as the
doorpost, so I concentrated on the lower bands for the extra points. 40m was
odd, in that there were a few audible stations about, but not enough to stay
there and call CQ. 80m was noisy until later in the evening, and I bumped up
my country tally there.
Odd to hear Pete G3KNU on 15m with an S9+20dB signal, an we worked on
backscatter, both pointing east.

Here is my claimed score:
BAND	QSOs	Points	DXCC	OK stns
80	49	147	16	11
40	54	183	26	9
20	104	123	35	17
15	9	12	9	0
10	1	1	1	0

217 QSO's

466 pts	  X    (87 DXCC + 37 OK stns)	=	57784

Anyway, best wishes to you all, happy holidays (of whichever kind you
celebrate!) and I look forward to working you all again in the new year.
