I was able to put more time in this one than I expected. My best ever BARTG
contest. It was great fun. I did work 178 calls, but one was a dupe, HF4K,
who answered my CQ on 20 M. I just worked him anyway as I don't have " wkd
B4" in a macro. I work all dupes.
Comments: The rules state that all time is in UTC. I wonder why several sent
"1401Z." The Z is not necessary. Also, some sent "NR 123 TIME 1401." which
was not necessary as I know that 123 1401 is the serial number and UTC time
as does N1MM. I wish that more would put a space after their call or maybe
hit enter. Would help keep the garbage from extending a call. Now, if my S/R
had a problem anyone observed, please let me know to my e-mail address. I
try to send a clean signal and good exchange. My exchange was " nr nr time
time " and I had only a few ask for repeats. Propagation was not the best. I
lost Europe my Sunday morning and it never came back very good. See you in
the next RTTY contest.
