[UK-CONTEST] BARTG RTTY Contest this weekend

[David]

This is one of the great HF RTTY contests and it is British. It started
about 50 years ago so nothing new in data contesting.

If you have dabbled in CC data then this is the time to have a go at this
high activity HF contest.

 

Time: Saturday 0200utc to Sunday 0200 utc 

Bands: contest bands 80-10m

Single Ops 30 hours max with minimum of 3 hours counting towards off time.

There is also a SO 6 hour category see the rules for all the categories

N1MM Contest name: BARTGSRTTY - note where the "S" is

Exchange: RST + Serial Number + utc Time in 4 digits eg 599 001 0936

N1MM example exchange macro: {TX} {SENTRST} {EXCH} {TIME2} {EXCH} {TIME2}
{RX}

Make sure you put in the space characters as this assists the software in
getting the correct numbers

Note the {TIME2} Also make sure you have Unshift On Space (UOS) selected to
send figure shift after each space as space is also assumed to be a letter
shift
