[RTTY] 6m contest this weekend

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

For those using N1MM Logger, select >File >New log in database, and choose 
the VHFJUNE contest. Change the mode from mixed to RTTY. No other changes 
required.

I uploaded a Sample Function Key file to the website >Files >Sample Function 
Keys >Digital "VHFJUNE.MC." The sample FK set is nothing fancy, but it'll 
get you into the contest quickly. Adjust the messages as you see fit.

6 Meters band was open a little while ago, seems to have gone silent now.

Sounds like a little bit of fun. I've been on 6 meter JT65 for the past 
couple of weeks and it seems to be getting better and better
each day. By the time I get home in the evening, the band really starts to 
ramp up. (Hope I didn't just jinx it for this weekend).
Last night I worked two new stations on 6M JT65 to bring me up to 39 on that 
band/mode. The band seems more suited to RTTY
contesting than JT65. RTTY exchanges are quick compared to the 4-6 minutes 
required for a JT65 contact. I've lost several JT65
contacts because the path dropped out within that 4-6 minute time frame.

The official rules for the contest can be found at:
http://www.6mt.com/


The exchange is callsign, grid square and club number. I'm guessing club 
number is a number you receive when you join the Six Club.
Fee to join is only $5, but it's kind of late in the game to get a number so 
we'll just have fun.

Starts at 1500Z on the 1st (Saturday) and ends 2400Z on the 2nd (Sunday).

I have other things I will be doing this weekend but will try to get on when 
I can. I will operate on or near 50.300 MHz. Please
stay clear of 50.276 MHz which is the JT65 frequency. Japan uses 50.330 MHz 
for JT65. Six meter ISCAT is around 50.250-50.255 MHz.
If we stay around 50.300 MHz, we should be good.

>I only have an old ICOM 551D for 6m but was thinking of
rigging up a cable and trying to operate RTTY if possible.  It would have to 
be AFSK.  There is also the ARRL's VHF contest next
weekend.
