SoapBox: This was our first try at a rtty contest from our new club
shack. My goal was to get as many of our members to see, try and enjoy
rtty contesting.
Well, we had a lot of people show up Friday night, I think we gave
Multi-op, single transmitter a new meaning. We have one guy on the
rotor, one on the keyboard/mouse, one on the radio, one watching our
Henry 4K to make sure we didn't go over 1.5K, one was writing out QSL
cards, and I was in the back yelling which function key to hit! With
new operators, not knowing the software, or knowing rtty, our qso rate
was very slow. As things thined out, some of the more experience
operators got a change to operate, and we did ok for S&P.
On Saturday morning, when we turned "Old Henry" on, snap, crickle and
pop! The Power supply went out. So the rest of the contest was 100
watts. We had to rely on the Force 12 CXL36? 10-40 meter beam at 75
feet. Still as the new operators came by to operate, they perfered to
S&P, so no run's. A couple of the guys were so impressed, they did not
return to operate, but decided to get on rtty from home and finish the
contest there.
Biggest thill was to leave the contest about midnight Saturday and work
VK0MM on SSB.
But we did have fun, maybe I did some good and will get a few new rtty
contesters out of this.
