My first Volta RTTY DX contest. Late start in this contest because of work,
sleep and other contests (QSO parties & FISTS). Also listened for CW stations in
the Oregon and Nevada QSO Parties during the Volta contest but did not hear any.

Best DX were:

 * New Zealand (ZL2AMI), 8200 mi, 20M/0400z (1640 mi/watt)
 * Argentina (LU8ADX, LU3CT, LV5V), 5100 mi, 20M/0100z-0130z (1020 mi/watt)
 * Hawaii (KH6ND), 4500 mi, 40M/0420z & 20M/0338z (900 mi/watt)


Yaesu FT-817 QRP xcvr, 5 watts into a 5-MHz OCF 28-gauge insulated wire stealth
