[SCCC] WN6K SOLP -Makrothen RTTY Contest

[NN3V_6]

Paul:

Your statement "...I am beginning to wonder if poorer SSN but a more stable
Sun is better than higher SFI..." begs the answer that if more hams
participated in a contest, the energy imparted upon the ionosphere by the
contester's activity, would alleviate the unsettled sun condition.

Comments: Ever try to skip a rock across the Brea Tar Pits?  It won't
happen...that is
what it felt like doing this contest with no relief from the High A index. I
am
beginning to wonder if poorer SSN but a more stable Sun is better than
higher
SFI. For score wise, this one boosts your early ego as they add the kM
between
maidenhead points - so it was fairly easy to get to 1M+ but if you couldn't
not
find any DX, it took a lot longer to get the totals up. The DX was sparse
here in the lower corner of the Left Coast and I was
disappointed to work so few JAs - especially Saturday/Sunday morning. The
other unique feature of this contest was it's division of 3 distinct
periods with everyone being off at the same time. Good for resting - but
only
the last two hours brought ANYTHING of value of the last eight hour session.
K1SFA (she works at the League) was my only ALL-BANDS contact and when I
looked
her up on QRZ, it shows that she is an accomplished RTTY contester. Thanks
for all the Q's WN6K, Paul
