CQ WW RTTY Soapbox built 11-2-2007 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: 4M5RY Class: SOSB/40 HP Total Score = 322,644 Good participatin in 40M ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: 4O3A Class: M/M HP Total Score = 6,267,027 Same team as last year, with reinforcement from Italy and Slovenia did Multi Multi from Montenegro again. This year we have some hardware improvements as new 2L80 yagi on 50m high tower and high power band pass filters, which dispel interfering between bands. Conditions were much better on low bands. We started on 80M with very good runs, as expected, but 40M was very poor for us first night. Only 5 elements wire beam was available. Saturday afternoon was painful with antenna on west, but we worked some JAs, even on our CQ. Sunday morning was amazing. Sunny and hot, without any wind at all. It was perfect weekend for antenna and tower work. Some of us used it to lift up 3L40 full-size yagi. S55O and S57MM assembled antenna and prepared monster for take of. First try we had at Sunday evening, under the reflectors lights, but around 22 local time I decided to left it for morning. We started early, around 7 and day was wonderful. After 4 hours we finalized action. Antenna finished on height of 32m on western tower and was ready for use around 17 GMT. We all were very excited to watch first SWR checking and to have confirmation that all we did very hard was correct. Yeeesss – SWR was as it has to be and we are in battle with new big antenna! It gives us many new MULTs from east and good feeling at the end of contest. We will be RTTY again in WPX, with same team. Many are very thankful to all who called us. Log will be on LoTW soon.

Had it all planned, then an issue developed at work which required my attention from about 1400z on Saturday until around 2200z. That put doing well out of the question. As it turned out conditions were just bad to marginal here so never got any really good runs going and just when things were looking good, a freaky thunder storm started up which put me off the air for nearly three hours around 2000z on Sunday. This had to be the strongest lightning and thunder display I've seen here in Barbados for years and it felt like it was right overhead. So in the end it was rather a disappointing effort. All the equipment worked well, but I detected a slightly sticky rotor on one beam which will require some attention before CQ WW phone. It was good to hear the usual gang of suspects with strong signals and also good to hear signals from 6W, AH8, and SV9. HEard quite a few good dx contacts but didn't have propagation. Thanks to all the stations that worked me, especially the rare and semi-rare mults who called in. See you in the rumble next year. 73's, Dean - 8P2K ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: 9A5W Class: SOSB/20 HP Total Score = 879,620 Saturday was terrible expecting final score less then 700K, but on Sunday CONDX became much better.Finaly, score achieved is better then in 2006.

Mr. Murphy was very active, our 2 element quad came down in the high winds on Friday before contest. We were forced to operate with vertical on high bands until Sunday afternoon, when we put up new Spiderbeam. Also one of our computer broke down (CPU), So we had no multiplier station from Saturday afternoon onwards.

Very easy to work stations at this time, since they've worked just about everyone else. Funny story Saturday night. Everyone else had gone to bed, so I cranked up the station. I noticed a weird hum coming from the amplifier that I couldn't explain. About 15 minutes later, I heard my kids stomping around and screaming in the kitchen. I ran upstairs to find the cause. Turns out, my rig was getting into a set of powered computer speakers in the kitchen and tha was the source of the weird hum. I turned the speakers off and sent the kids to bed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: AA4V Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 144,372 Only a limited time to operate this week-end due to outside commitments.

But sunday was a little bit better than saturday. With 100 watts it was impossible to keep a running frequency for more than 3 minutes on 20 m. Since 15 and 10 failed, almost all contesters were on 20 m. So tha band was full of RTTY stations from 14050 to 14150. I missed the JA-QSOs very much. No VK is in my log again.

All together, 3 fiberglass elements for the 5 bands ! Was planning to do a bit more, especially on low bands, but when I woke up around midnight local time the second night, it was heavily raining, which means, with my 380kV local power line, abt S7 white noise on 40, and S9+ on 80... So no alternative than going back to bed. I came back just before sunrise, when the rain had finaly stopped, but must say, with limited motivation. Condx have been very bad, this stat says it all: Only 15% of NA-stations in the log (while the usual percentage in this contest fm my place used to be around 35%). Did not hear much from NW-states/prov (with the exception of Jim W7EJ from OR) and wkd only 2 Californians on 20m. Nada from NA on 15m and not even JA6GCE from what is usualy my best direction... Fortunately a good EU activity allowed a few good runs at >100-rate with a good 30mn peak at 110 on 40m saturday morning. My home-made 40/80 vertical(*) did a good job on 40m, where I worked more countries than I did in 2005 in 40h of traffic, a dipole at 20m and a SO2R setup... Just a bit of E's on 10m, but only to a few limited areas. Congrats to DL0TTY for being my only 5-bander ! See you soon from CN !

Great fun. Used the ever wonderful Win-Test contest program. The CQWW RTTY contest is evidently growing in popularity. Hopefully "CQ" will adopt the standard SSB+CW Results format for RTTY too. The current long lists of callsigns in the published RTTY results make it nigh impossible to find anyone. I know, because I spent much of the time while Win-Test was taking care of sending and receiving my RTTY QSOs, looking for particular callsigns within last year's CQWW RTTY Contest result listings! Station was a 3el yagi for 20m at 80ft. Station MP Mk V with Acom 2000 amp. It was great to meet so many familiar callsigns (from the world of dots and dashes) on RTTY. 73 - Nigel G3TXF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: GM5A Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 1,802,142 This is the first time for a long while I have done Single Op - 48 hours. In the end I managed almost 38 hours, by the end I think I was brain dead. Conditions were terrible from the start and the K index went up to 5 on the Saturday. I only managed a handful of QSOs on 10m and didnt even hear the Sates on 15m. Surprisingly enough 80m was almost as productful as 40m whilst as usual 20m was the bread and butter band. Thanks to GM0GAV for the use of the shack and to Gavin's wife Margaret (who was just out of hospital) for sustaining me for the weekend. Just a few more numbers on the Solar Flux, A and K indices would have made for a great weekend. I hope next year conditions will be a little better.

Not a serious effort, since I was in and out during my spare weekend time, and among other commitments I made the FSK interface (at last). Started the contest in AFSK and switched to FSK late-saturday night. I experienced varius RFI problems that still have to be definitely solved. My flying/floating temporary interface need to be reworked (just before next contest, maybe...??) Poor condition on the higher bands, and this is no news, even if I made some good ones: 9U0A, D4C, VQ9LA, CX3CCC (moreover I was not there when there should have been possible propagation). Clearly copied JT1F and HC8N on 40m, but I still was on AFSK then, and without proper filtering it was almost impossible (for me) to make qso, with their signal buried under strong adiacent signals. CU next one, with the right interface! Bob, I2WIJ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: IQ4AX Class: M/S HP Total Score = 484,096 Great Contest! We had a lot of fun as first experience on ratty. We operated just a few hours from the running seat at IO4T. No multiplier station has been driven. Due to our spare time, we worked mostly 20 and 40m, 90% of the time during the daytime. During the second night, we also used the contest as a benchmark for our RX antennas: a K9AY and a Beverage toward US were switched over every call, comparing signal srenght and noise level on the spectrum. RTTY can be pretty useful for such a test. A list of interesting DX follows: JA 48 9M 3 ZL 2 VK 3 E21 1 JT 1 BY 3 VR 3 HL 6 DU 2 YB 1 plus KL7 and KH6. Working condition: FT1000MP - AL1200 80m: 1/4 wavelenght vertical 40m: Sloping dipoles 20m: 5L HY-GAIN beaming US / KT34A 15m: 5L HY-GAIN / KT34A 10m: KT34A Software: Win-Test running MMTTY keying through FSK. We are planning a serious effort for next year, and some minor & serious activity all over the season. Thanks you guys for such a fun, work you soon on ratty as IO4T - IQ4AX!

I am sure that i could make very better. A surprise a vertical antenna for 40 m. home made, it has given big satisfactions to me, above all for the place where i have been able to put it,not having much space on hand. I am also thinkyng for the next one to try so2r set up...may be. While i have all the time in order to document to me as i can do whit SW and hardwer.

I sure hope the solar cycle starts to move up. Many Europeans had good signals but just must have had their antennas pointed else where as they did not hear the states. Although not a new one, the SU8 Egypt was sure nice to get. Not very much activity from that country on any mode. I did work a few 4X4's. JA, ZL and 5W at the end of the contest on 15 was very welcome. Joe K0BX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0D Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 270,548 KØD was a special event callsign operated by KØRC from my home QTH in Minnesota. See www.qrz.com for the special event details. The KØD logs have been uploaded to both eQSL and LoTW. I had a great time with this year's CQWW DX RTTY contest. I had anticipated a strong showing but propagation, weather, and adrenaline failure [read: getting old] dictated otherwise! Friday night I quit at 11:00 PM and went directly to bed. Saturday night the aurora was closing in and shut down the bands so I had a perfect excuse for another good nights sleep. Sunday afternoon thunderstorms, lightning, and precipitation static were additional excuses for restrained operating time. I switched to my 40m sloper for some 20m contacts when signals were drowned out in the roar on the TH-11DX. The SH5 utility shows I was active about 20 of the 48 hours. It was "interesting" to operate a world-wide contest using a Special Event callsign [KØD]. After the contest I checked the DX Summit and I saw the call was spotted 4 times over the weekend. I thought there would have been more spots. There’s a lot to be said about the significance of "call recognition" to help boost your rate. The first day, there were many many repeat requests, to the point where I created a macro that included "special event callsign". I don't believe the 1x1 format is very well recognized yet, at least in the contesting environment. On RTTY, to the unexpecting, it looks like there's a character missing. A number of stations took it upon themselves to insert the missing character. For others, it was obvious KØD wasn’t a legitimate callsign so they weren’t about to put it in their log! Oh well... The second day this was less of a problem, although several stations gave up a QSO when they didn't receive all 4 characters for a callsign. I wonder if D4C or G2F experienced these behaviors? I worked LU1HF, K1TTT, and HC8N on ten meters. I also heard VE3RM but he didn’t hear me. Mostly the band was dead, but there were a few times when I could hear RTTY signals popping in and out of the noise, in very short bursts like a meteor shower event. It was never enough time for the decoder to lock on and decode even a single character. I started the contest Friday evening with a couple dozen contacts on 15m with South America and Oceania, then dropping down to 20m, 40m, and finally 80m. After 4 hours I only had 89 contacts in the log… quite disappointing. I restarted about 6:00 am Saturday morning and my first contact was with Bob, ZM2A and shortly after Wesley, ZL3TE. I bounced between 40m and 80m while waiting for 20m to show some life. I didn’t work any European or African stations on 80 meters but I did print 4o3a, ct9m, i4avg, i4ufh, iq1ry, s54e, and so4m. On 40 meters in the afternoon I had to wait several hours before the reciprocal path opened up to Europe. It’s the old phenomenon of receiving incredibly strong signals from the east before dusk. I see others wrote about this in their soapbox comments. I was running SOLP Unassisted and never got my rate above 100 until the last 45 minutes of the contest. I enjoyed this contest, even at the forced slow pace, but like everyone else I’m looking forward to starting a DX contest on 10m working Asia for the first two hours! Thanks for the Q’s, thanks for participating in my “100th Anniversary Special Event”, and thanks for the sponsors for supporting this event. 73 de Bob – KØRC in MN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0FX Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 463,390 Thanks to the sponsers for another great contest. Condx terrible as most folks have mentioned. No EU on 80/40/15/10 and few on 20. Did manage one JA on 80. Terrible local line noise all bands didn't help. Thanks for all the Q's.

Writelog Ver 10.41b and MMTTY 73 - Don K0FX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K0TG Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 399,701 First of all, thanks to Paul, W0AIH for the use of his station. Due to other things going on I did not get started until early afternoon Saturday. I was really hoping that the low bands would be in better shape than they were. With the thunderstorms in the area it was tough to hear. I had to shut down for almost an hour on Saturday afternoon due to a lot of sparks flying. So lost some valuable time on 20 and 15. I managed to work LU1HF on 10. He was running EU but he was the only signal I could hear. I tried CQing a bit, but no takers. It was nice to hear signals on 15. I thought there would be some, but it was much more active than I expected from the Black Hole. In the last two hours I had set my sights on breaking the 800 QSO level. I had about 75 to go to get there. I also wanted to break the 400K level for the score. Well, I got to 807 for Q's but only to 399,701 for the score. DRATS!!! Well it was not for lack of trying. An HB0 called me when I was on 40 and that would have clinched it but we could not finish the QSO for some reason. He was gone. I should have gone to at least a half hour earlier than I did. I tried 40 at about 2200Z and heard some DX, but it was tough to get thru the East Coast wall. So I thought it might be better an hour later. I probably should have toughed it out and gotten my run going earlier. 40 is a great band to end this one on. It was great to see the 10 minute rate above 100 many times! To bad conditions were so poor. It could have stayed up there longer! 73, John K0TG @ W0AIH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1RY Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 85,746 Hope I gave DE to a few who needed it. ONly 100 Watts and Dipoles here. Being in Delaware (DE) had a lot of repeats for my state as many thought I was sending from (DE) Had fun good see many old friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K1TTT Class: M/M HP Total Score = 3,042,250 Bad conditions, limited number of operators, and being able to use separate decoders on each vfo of the ft-1000mp's led to a couple interesting operating catagories... single-op-3-radio was a fun one... cqing on 80, 10, and 15m all at once. Also single-radio-2-operator where a new operator was handling the main vfo cqing while i tuned the sub vfo checking the multiplier situation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K3MM Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 2,835,738 Thanks a bunch to John, N3HBX, for the use of his excellent station. No beverages due to soybeans in the field, but bands were fairly quiet after some light crashing Friday night. I dont imagine anyone broke any records this year! 10 was just dead and 15 wasnt much better. I managed to work one I and one EA on Sunday there for double mults! Woo hoo! My score was down about 10 percent from last year but I was amazed it wasnt a lot worse. Q total was impressive considering... I got caught napping Sunday morning when 20 opened at least 45 minutes earlier than on Saturday and I struggled to come up with a run frequency. 20 actually came to life late on Sunday with some very loud JA's and a couple zone 19's, but no depth - perhaps cause it was Monday morning over there! Also snagged a couple of VK's and ZL's long path late Sunday. As would be expected 20 and 40 were packed with stations. 20 was amazing...just a bottomless pit of stations even with depressed conditions for most of the weekend. "I got nowhere else to go!" kept playing over and over in my head! 40 was a slug-fest, but ended up with some halfway decent runs way up around 7050-7060. Also picked up a JA calling CQ well out of the window at around 7040 Saturday AM. 73, Ty K3MM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K3MQ Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 717,668 This was a great learning experience using SO2R really for the first time with no major problems. I need to learn to use both radios consistently, and I still have some inter-band interference. Conditions seemed better Sunday than Saturday. It sure is aggravating to hear a S9 station but he doesn't begin to hear you - even with HP. Only worked one JA, no VK/ZL, and for 20 meters ... can you say "QRM Hell" ??? But it was fun! My goal was 1000 q's and a 1M score - got the q's with 15 minutes to go but missed the score. I had one op who argued Delaware (DE) was not a real state - he thought it was only a county in Pennsylvania. TU ... QRZ?

Very busy week here. We hosted a family reunion and took care of our and dying cat. The contest was a nice distraction from it all. Thanks to my wonderful fiancee Susie for handling it all with style and grace. Band conditions were tough. See you all next year, and in SSB and CW 2007. 73 -Kirk K4RO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K4TD Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 924,532 First, a big thank you to everyone for all the QSO's. It was nice to see so many familiar calls in this event. Conditions this weekend were not all that great. Early in the contest, I checked IonoProbe and it showed a Kp of 5 and an effective SSN of -4 (yes, minus 4). At the end of the first 4 hours of the contest I had around 100 QSO's. When I shut down for the night at 0800Z on Saturday, I had just over 160 QSO's. After such a depressing start, I came very close to pulling the plug for the weekend, but decided to keep on going. At my QTH 80M had a very high QRN level both nights, 40M pretty much shut down about an hour after sunset on Friday and Saturday evenings, and 20M didn't really open until late-morning on Saturday. Sunday was much better with: (1) 20M opening fairly early and producing some good runs from Europe, (2)15M and 10M producing some suprise offerings throughout the day, and (3) 40M opened early to Europe with EU signals being heard 3 full hours prior to sunset (I worked my first EU about 2.5 hours prior to sunset). All-in-all a very sharp contrast between the conditions at the beginning and end of the contest. I use Win-Test logging software, which can produce some interesting data.

Most of my operating was on the second day when conditions were better. Missed most of the really good hours to Europe. This contest just keeps getting busier and busier. Great to see so many new calls from Europe - especially from Italy! Where were all the USA ops? Missed lots of easy states. Of course, on most bands the conditions were so poor we didn't even have backscatter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K6GEP Class: SOAB(A) LP Total Score = 124,982 Last year's CQWW RTTY was my first big RTTY contest, and I only logged 155 Qs. My goal was to at least double that score, then I set a big goal of 400, which I made by 2200z Sunday. Conditions started out bad, but got better. I got very frustrated late Saturday night when I just couldn't find anyone new to work. I'd say 75% of my Qs were US and Canada. For the first time in memory, I did not work a P4 during a contest. Their pileup was HUGE when they hit the bands. Tnx as always to the super stations for putting their countries on the air. Your sigs were BIG. Tnx HC8N, CT9L, CT9M, D4C and EF8M. New DX: HC8N on 80, D4, CX, and CP Ones that I tried but didn't get: HL, 6W, P4 Packet spot eye test: WP3C and WF3C (difference between Puerto Rico and FL) I think for this one, assisted mode was a waste for me.

Ran about 75 watts and was pleased with the results considering the generally poor conditions. I guess all coronal holes are scheduled to become geo-effective on contest week-ends. de HBN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K7RE Class: SOSB/20 HP Total Score = 81,554 Friday and Saturday saw abysmal propagation here, but Sunday was much better. Never thought that I would be able to work 60+ DXCC countries on 20M at the bottom of the solar cycle in one easy weekend, and from the frozen north where the propagation gods have forsaken us. Still, I saw many times when east coast stations were easily working EU and not a peep or squeal seen or heard here from EU. I only put in about 20 hours as my single band effort ran into early 20M band closings. I was relegated to mostly S&P as calling CQ almost always gave me very low rates. I ran 300-400 watts, as there is no power catagory for SB. I missed MI and OK as well as all of the close in 7 land states. I didn't even work WA for the first and only time until late Sunday! Lousy propagation for stateside here.Thanks to all of the rare ones that showed up to make this a very fun event, and of course to the contests sponsors as well.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K8AJS Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 496,524 There's been other comments about the propagation; basically, it was terrible. The big indicator for me, besides the numbers from WWV, was the contact points. It took me approximately 80 more QSOs this year to get to the same number of contact points I had last year. Last year my points-per-QSO average was 2.29, this year it was 2.02. Multipliers? This year I had 2 less zone multipliers and 15 fewer country multipliers, but my states and provinces were up by 41. Some pretty good indicators that I wasn't getting out very far. I can't stay up the hours that I could when I was younger, and with rates primarily in the 20s, I wasn't interested in staying up those hours. I made interim objectives to keep me interested, just to keep me in the chair. First there was making more QSOs than last year, then there was getting to last year's total of QSO points (as I said, that came about 80 QSOs later). Then came trying to reach last year's multiplier total. Finally came the one that I didn't reach: I was shooting for half a million points. I didn't get there, but maybe next year there will be a little propagation and I'll be able to reach it.

I did hear several more EU stations on 80M than I usually do, which was nice. See you in the RTTY roundup. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K8ZZ Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 237,115 Conditions not good but RTTY contesting is always fun. Use wire antenna's and it took some work to dig out some of the DX signals. 73 and hope to work you all again in the next RTTY contest. Ed K8ZZ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: K9MUG Class: SOSB/80 HP Total Score = 20,910 2-3 weeks ago I had scaled back my plans to a SOSB/80 due to health problems. I started and ran into the terrible band condx so I went to 40M for a while and decided there was no use. Thanks to all, and to the ACG'ers, I'm sorry we had good participation and some good scores as well. Thanks to all who Q'd in my short outing. 73, Darrell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KA2KON Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 88,677 Propagation from my qth was not the best.

Very few times with 5 guys on 1 radio each - what a concept!- we should try that more often :) Next time I will get my ft-1000 out and go for the 1 radio 2 ops - like K1TTT did this contest.

I limited my operating time to a normal schedule and spent a good chunk of time playing with getting SO2R functionality. At one point I spent a couple of hours reconfiguring my station and filters. I didn't run SO2R for 99% of the contest but enough to learn it is very problematic from my small lot. Had a couple of great runs. N1MM tells me that I had a max rate of 180/hr for several minutes......oh if I only couple continue that.

Good thing it is the bottom of the cycle, but I am ready for some sunspots already !! Thanks for all the Q's Hope to print you soon 73, Rick KI1G ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KK5OQ Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 845,064 Surprised to see the DX total higher than the St/Province total. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KQ6ES Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 61,992 My first DX RTTY Contest. No logging interface and no filters made it hard work but a great learning experience. I think one or two tiny sunspots showed up. It can only get better. John kq6es ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KR1ST Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 268,302 Rig: IC-756ProIII PWR: 100 Watts Ant: 20/15/10: three all homebrew remotely switched 20m doublets in triangle configuration @ 30ft 40: 40m doublet @ 30 ft 80: 80m inverted V, apex @ 55ft 160: I-wish-I-could-use-it inverted L First, why no 160m? Especially now that we are the bottom of the sunspot cycle it would make sense to have 160m available since 15 and 10 meters are of limited use. It probably has to do with tradition and will take another two generations of hams before this mistake will be corrected. Second, why no QRP category? There is a QRP category in the SSB and CW CQ-WW contests, but not in the RTTY contest. Makes no sense at all, especially since this an excellent mode for QRP operations. Third, the ProIII makes a mean RTTY machine. The twin peak filter is an incredible tool to use. When this Ukranian station decided to park one of his tones in between mine, it didn't bother my reception one bit. But it did bother the folks calling me, so I moved. (I did confirm that the Ukranian station could hear me.) Forth, I got a SWL (email) report from wa2033swl during the contest, which I though was pretty neat. Fifth, I'm surprised I lasted this long in the contest. Usually I get bored with RTTY after just a few hours hitting the same three or four buttons over and over again, but this time it was different. Maybe it was because I made it more interesting by hooking up a webcam on a second machine and talked to my dad (non-ham) across the pond during the contest in a video conference. This way he could see what it is all about. A fellow contester across town did the same so I had a nice video conference going on with him, too, and passed the time more enjoyably. :) Lastly, maybe I need to become more serious about RTTY contesting. I do like the fact that all contacts count, as opposed to the other DX contests. Thanks to all of you who answered my call and CQ Magazine for sponsoring this contest. 73, --Alex KR1ST http://www.kr1st.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: KR4F Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 201,308 Returned from France late Friday night and was punchy/jet-lagged Saturday morning with first QSO at 1448 UTC on Saturday.

This was the first Multi Rtty operation, as I usually op the WW RTTY as SO2R, from K7ZSD. The Cinco Nueve Content Group asked if I would consider doing a multi-op and,with Brad and Ruth's endorsement, it was agreed upon. Conditions were not so good, the companionship was excellent. We ate well and had great fun as always from Smoke Ranch. I speak for all the operators when I give a big thank you to Brad and Ruth and to all the ops all over the world who stopped by to give us a contact. We will see you all again in a month in the SSB leg.

Very,very interesting. Oh also 1st time to use N1MM married to MMTTY which configured without my input and appeared to work flawlesly from a novice op's point of veiw. Spent Saturday afternoon marrying radio to PC which I will not discuss here! Late Sat night I got on and sorted out what to do. Condx, well everybody has weighed in on that issue but seemed to be a lot of activity all in all. I suspect you will hear more of KY5R on the RTTY mode in the future contest as the time I spent in educating myself and monitorig other op's has peaked my interest. TNX fer the Q's es GL to all.

In my forty years as ham, I had never taken part in any contest. Since I began with digit mode, seven years ago, I had only worked 16 stations in RTTY mode.

Saw lots of new calls, hope they continue the RTTY contesting! Conditions were b-a-d, High noise level and weak stations make for lots of repeats. Had several instances of a station call me, then start CQing right on top of me, very rude. Operators were assisted by KB1JXJ, KB1OZQ, W1UD and AB1GF, who did not operate but assisted and observed. Many thanks to KB1JXJ who kept the coffee and food coming!!! The station worked flawless, better than the operators, who made some mistakes. Equipment: IC-756 Pro2, Ameritron AL-80 amp at 500 watts, WriteLog, and wire dipoles in the trees on a city lot. Looking forward to the sunspots returning!!

I never heard EU on 21 MHz save for CT3 and CT9 and managed only 12 QSOs on 10M. Everyone was pretty much confined to 20 and 40 meters to the disgust of CW ops I am certain. At peak times there were RTTY signals from about 7020 to 7065 and 14055 to 14140. That is a pretty big spread and one guaranteed to send many hard core CW ops into psychotherapy session all the follwoing week or month. It was so crowded on 20 and 40 that I was never able to get a run going there with only 100 watts. I did manager a new one on 20 - Montenegro - to put me over 300 on RTTY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: N2KI Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 114,257 Given the band conditions, this was not one of my better score reports.

Very difficult operating from an apartment. And the temporary 20/15 meter Moxon combo I put up caused some TVI, so I didn't use it. All contacts were made on an 80 meter doublet thrown over some pine trees out in back of the building. As always, it was great to see so many ACG and SECC members out in-force.

CU in SSB and CW parts. 73!de UT7L Contest Team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VA1CHP Class: SOSB/40 HP Total Score = 177,930 Tried single band operation for a variety of reasons. For pure entertainment you can't miss with 40 meters. You had a choice of 1. A CW Op who felt any FQ below 7030 was for CW operation only and would jam any RTTY signal with a string of RYRYs. Funny it was OK for him to use RTTY to jam you!! 2. Someone decided that HC8N was not a legitimate operation on the Galapagos and would jam him whenever he transmitted. On Sunday HC8N moved below 7030 and I wondered how he fared with the CW cop! 3. Various CW ops transmitting a string of CQ's on top of your signal, no call given, no calls answered just QRM. Makes me think the loony asylum was dumped onto 40 meters. Other than that it was fun. Thanks for all the Q's and see you in the next one. Rich VA1CHP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VA2UP Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 746,790 Many reasons to give it all up but glad I stayed, after all CQWW rtty only comes once a year and I was looking forward to this one. We all know about poor conditions so I will spare you. Not much of an 80M guy due to my limited space for putting up some decent antenna but happy to say that it has been the most enjoyable band in this contest. Got some new ones there and noise level vy acceptable. On top of it I got answered by almost every station I called, not so for the other bands where I struggled at times to be heard. Had to S&P most of saturday and just a couple of acceptable runs on sunday when I have finally seen my rate go over 100 qs (for vy short time), mostly I woulld see rates in the 20s. Easier to park your car in downtown Montreal at lunchtime than to find a spot to call cq in this one, I guess the crowd is getting bigger, welcome to all new stations. Hope I'm in your log, glad you're in mine. Looking forward to the next battle. 73, Fabi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VA7ST Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 309,505 * FT-2000, SB221 * N1MM Logger + MMTTY * 3-ele CL33 at 45' * Two 40M half-squares (E-W, N-S) * 80M full-size delta loop * No cluster -------------------------------------- I've said it before, but this time I mean it: the flux can't get ANY lower! This weekend's solar values: SFI=65, A=26>13, K=4>1 (and A was 26, K was 4 through most of the weekend). Have seen worse -- in a total blackout. Really, really lousy bands. Did not hear any EU (not one!) until about 5 a.m. Sunday, then there was a slow trickle of weak EUs through till 8 a.m. or so when 20M finally opened up reasonably well. Nothing on 10M (looked around for HC8N). 15M was dead except to FL and a couple of deep SA stations. Down from last year. Last year, worked 55 countries on 20M LP; this year just 48 HP. Sections were down from 43 to 39, too. The big gains this year were in sections and Qs on 40M and 80M. Antennas were playing well(ish... no EU at all). Had some very nice surprises from SA on 40M. ZM2A and JS3 on 80M were nice finds, too. Heavy rain Saturday night and Sunday knocked down the power line noise (thankfully). What noise remained was easily handed by the FT-2000 noise blanker (long pulse) without nearby signals letting the noise through the blanker, as I often found with the FT-920 when the noise blanker is on. Sure like the 2000's filtering. Must be half a dozen ways to clean up a frequency. Sunday afternoon saw 20M packed from .060 to .115, with barely a space to slip into. New callers were pretty sparse by that time, too. Tried to go to 40M for the final hour, but only a few stations could hear me that early, even with high power, so I went back to 20M and sought any fresh stations that were around. Missed 600 Qs by one (with dupes: 607). Time on task for this one: 23 hours. (25.5 last year -- it's easier to stick with it when the bands are alive). Next time out, I'll try SO2V -- would have this time, but couldn't find an audio splitter to feed the two sound cards.

Was in "going to quit" mood all Saturday afternoon, finally pushed myself to carry on... Took long 7 hours nap on Saturday night instead... I was so bored that even worked VK9WWI on 160 CW and 9U0A on 80 CW with the 2nd radio... Also tried Dual mode of MixW 2.18 at the end of the contest... Allows you to "see" both RX channels on the dual waterfall at the same time. Neat,if you have dual-RX radio... Also forgot to bring a cable for RigExpert/2nd radio, so ended up using internal PC's sound card on one of the radios... Hands up, it loses to RigExpert big time in terms of noise floor... Anyway, another big one is over. Thanks to all for QSOs and big Thank You to Paul, VE3SY for hosting me again.

First contest using the MTTY plug in. It works very well if its setup properly.

Nice to see alot of the local contest group members cross my screen. I also noticed the lack of activity from some of the usually prominent states/provinces. Conditions were not at their best this time around. Best moments for me were being called by HZ1 and VQ9,and working VK4 on 40m at 9:00am local Sunday morning. Thank you to all who worked me. 73 Ted VE3SS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE3TPZ Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 2,408 Only A few hours to play and do some more learning on rtty ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE3UTT Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 1,042,405 No 80m antenna really hurt but quitting early let me sleep :-) Loaded up my 20m quad with 500 watts and at least got some multipliers. Hope all had fun. Worse operator prize by far in recent memory - AI4XX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE3XD Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 373,324 On the positive side this weekend had my lowest noise level for several weeks. But propagation did not favour a high Q rate. Unlike many previous years in this one I found it difficult to get and maintain runs for any length of time. Usually my low power station does a pretty good job of running in RTTY but not this time. At 500 Qs I almost packed it in but then came back after a break and managed another 100. Thanks to all for the Qs and cu in the SSB and CW versions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE4EAR Class: SOAB LP Total Score = 92,904 Well That was different! I had planned to put in a dedicated effort, but that was not to be. Friday was my XYL's birthday so that meant dinner, movie and managed only a couple Q's on 40 after 0500. I thought Saturday would be the big day so head for bed. Woke up around 0800 with severe back pain and tied to put a couple hours in but the pain in the back was worse than the poor conditions )High A, & K values). Ended up in the emergency ward with what turns out are kidney stones. 12 hours, some morphine and a bunch of oher pain medication and I am back at home. 40m was open to the lower 48 and out SA for awhile. Finally ventured to 80 but couldn't keep my focus so headed for bed. Started back at about 10:00 on 80 and 40. Listened to the west coast and few eastern station working Thailand, Japan and other Asian stations on 80 and 40. All I heard was Aurora and static. Did managae to work a couple KH6 stations on both 80 and 40 but that was all I could hear. My 100w and a dipole probably didn't help either. 20m finally started to open and actually could work a few EU stations. They weren't strong but most were very patient and didn't seem to mind a few retries. A few PC lockups caused me to lose a few multipliers as I am sure the contacts weren't completed. First time that has happened on RTTY so don't know what to attribute that to. Sunday afternoon I even ventured to 15m. Heard a few deep SA stations but nothing else. Started to work them on my BiggIR vertical until suddenly the SWR shot through the roof. Switching to the doublet I was back on the air but signals were way down and couldn't make any more contacts. Headed uipstairs for some pain medication and noticed the wind was really blowing. Turns out we were having40km winds with gusts as high as 80km. Went outside to look at the vertical and discovered that one of the telescoping sections had collapsed effectively shortening the antenna. Way too windy to get up on the roof and try to make a repair, so I headed back to the shack and see what I could do with just the wire antenna. Hopefully the post mortem will show that the tape inside the telesoping tubes was not damaged as it was fully extended at the time of the collapse (3/4 wavelength mode on 15 m) 20m was tough as the path to EU had closed and SA was not quite there yet. Snagged a few North African stations but that was about it for DX. Conditions to the lower 48 were marginal as only east, deep south and west coast were strong. Nearing the end of the contest, I know the asian stations were starting to roll in but nothing strong enough to work. So kidney stones, pain medication, high winds, damaged antenna, intermittent computer lock ups and the usual poor propagation conditions made for another fun contest! Thanks for everyone's patience and hope to hear you all again in a few weeks during the SSB event. Ed VE4EAR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE6CNU Class: SOSB/20 LP Total Score = 4,956 I wasn't planning on doing this contest, as I had a lot of other projects to do around the house. I managed to do about 2.5 hours at the very end, using my FT-1000MP at about 50W, and my TH6DXX at 40'. Conditions seemed rather good, so I'm assuming they were enhanced by all the activity. N1MM and MMTTY seemed to work quite well, although I'm by no means an RTTY person. Hope to do more in the coming year to become better at it. 73 and thanks to all who worked me. Jerry VE6CNU ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VE7UF Class: M/S HP Total Score = 361,342 In order to enhance operator activity 4 operators operated 2 stations here at VE7UF independently, VE7UF and VA7RN, both at my VE7UF location. The score listed above is for the VE7UF entry. Stormy wx caused a rotator to fail on Sunday which caused the VA7RN station to miss the 20M EU opening. The VE7UF station also missed all of the Sunday EU opening except the last hour. There was no Saturday EU opening. With the A index at 26 for most of the contest conditions were very poor. The N1MM program worked 100%. All things considered we had a good time. Our thanks to all that called. 73, Duane VE7UF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: VK4UC Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 217,488 Signals weak all the time.

Sure great for multiplier chasing at this beginning point. I can see when the sunspots come back and 20-15-10 are rockin and rollin, SO2R will be the only way to go. There is a learning curve and the attention you need for both radios/screens doesn't leave any time for watching NFL on Sunday! Pretty poor condx to EU on 20 and worked only a handful on 40. At this latittude it was a real struggle on 15. Apologies to guys if I was a bit slow coming back. Too many buffers to consider. 73 Ken W0LSD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W0MU Class: M/2 HP Total Score = 37,961 Poor conditions to say the least.

Stations that were S-9 or better could not hear us, and we saw that happening to many others. But, we managed to keep going and persevering and think we did quite well. Thanks to all who gave us contacts and especially those who were very patient and had to ask for repeats. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W1BYH Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 309,330 Enjoyed the contest, but it sure was work. Had hoped to get a tribander mounted this week, but didn't make it, so had to use an R5 ground-mounted vertical and dipoles for 40 and 80 at about 30 feet. 300 watts helped, but noticed many strong stations still didn't hear me. Limited available time over the weekend, and overall poor conditions kept the numbers lower than I had hoped. There's always next time !

N1MM was great for multi-op Made a few mistakes in the beginning, but figured it out pretty quickly. Had a fun JA run for the last hour on 20m. Lots of fun, and thanks to my dad for making it Multi-2. 73, Matthew W1MAT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W1TY Class: SOSB/40 HP Total Score = 70,725 Planned on a weekend of high rate RTTY. The propagation did not cooperate and so it was just a few hours of play. Hard to remember 40m sounding so poor. Thanks to all that hung in despite the difficult conditions.

Even with the contribution of the 2nd radio, the best rate hour of the contest was an 89.

My new 3 element SteppIR with the 40m dipole element worked OK but I miss the "instant" band changing. Unfortunately, something is out of sync with my 180 degree element shift so it made some interesting moments in the heat of battle. Thanks to all for the Qs and mults.

Saturday was difficult with conditions as they were. Band to EU opened late and closed early on Saturday, but things were much better on Sunday. Found 6 new ones for DXCC on 80! Also was pleasantly surprised to find SU8BHI WAY up the band on 20 for an all time new one. Nice to see Larry, VQ9LA, instructing the unruly pile how to behave and wait your turn. Blew a fuse in the T/R circuit in the amp late Sat., ranbaqrefoot Sunday. Thanks to all for calls.

Had to switch to all dipoles Friday evening due to extremely high SWR on Cushcraft A4S with 40M addon. Pulled it down Saturday morning found a lose joint thought i had it back up and after 2 calls SWR thru the roof again ... Antenna back down (tilt over tower) and finally found a bad trap. Repaired and back up! By this time its 3pm local and this om worn out! Lots of fun in the operating hours .. Thanks to all for the contacts and patience.

This is the first time I have entered a RTTY contest, and my first attempt at using the internal MMTTY log. I was told I would be sorry, and they were right.. hi. I'll do something about that I assure you. Poor conditions, but I had a ball anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W4RK Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 261,888 Good participation. 20M propagation not the best from the midwest. 40M seemed good with some nice openings to VK & ZL. 15M limited to HC8N and a few PY and LU. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W4UK Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 251,781 WIRE DIPOLES ONLY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W4ZE Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 1,042,452 Fun Contest.

Thanks to the ops at HC8N for a 5-band sweep. We worked one local on 10m (K2RD) for a triple mult. Some other good DX and mults were VQ9LA and P43A (both with large pileups not well behaved), the ZS2DL and EZ, and we heard and called two different JT stations on 20m, but neither could fully copy us.

During the slow times (there were many) I switched to this contest. RTTY wiped out the FISTS freqs especially on 40M. So it was hard to make CW contacts on that band. Not a bad score for part time I guess. 73 Paul NG7Z ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W7OM Class: SOAB HP Total Score = 160,056 Glad this is the bottom of the sun spot cycle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: W7WHY Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 59,821 Great fun while I could get on. Only on for about 8 hours as I had to work Saturday so missed any openings on 20 (if there were any). Got on and made a few before church on Sunday. Did manage 2 Q's on 15 Sunday afternoon. Think it was open but nobody was home. Nada on 10. Conditions on 40 and 80 seemed really poor here Saturday night. The noise was really bad on both bands. Good ears award has to go to D4C this time. He heard me on 80 meters on the first call. Got a "?" from them, then they got my call OK. Think that was probably the highlight of the contest here. New England was 'missing in action here'. MIssed VT, RI, NH, ND and Wyo. They are usually easy pickings here. Went down the bandmap for the last half hour and took all the green and red callsigns off except for P43A. Don't know where he disappeared to. All in all, it was a really fun contest and I thank the sponsers for putting it on. See you all in the next one.

This was my first RTTY contest doing SO2R and it didn't take long to realize what I had been missing. I hate to think what this year's score would have been if I didn't set up the two radios this time! Almost finished the contest with a nice double mult, coming across BD7KLO in the last half hour with a very nice signal into NH on 20 Meters. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it.

Either way, I didn''t spend a lot of dedicated of time to this contest, not that it wasn't fun, it's just that I couldn't put in a full time effort for one reason or another (cop out). But in the long run I like RTTY contests now more than CW (can that be possible)? Well, for one reason it doesn't take as much brain drain as CW but CW is still pretty darn good and it's easier to multitask like talking to the XYL. Now, for RTTY contests it can be interesting at times to know who exactly you are having a QSO with but that's part of the fun! 73 - Bob WA2MNO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: WB9Z Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 1,495,910 SO1R operation again... one of these days I have to find the time to build things up for SO2R on RTTY, I can do it on SSB and CW. All of my free time this summer was used repairing and improving the antenna system here. As others mentioned... I thought conditions were pretty lousy... at least for the first 2/3rds of the contests... with conditions improving I thought on Sunday afternoon. It was nice to pick up many stateside and DX multipliers on 15 meters then. Thanks to ZP5CGL for his suggested QSY to 10 meters and the double multipliers. I was really concerned with the fluttery signals on 40 and 80 the first night. But, after checking the WWV numbers it confirmed there was some type of solar disturbance happening. Early on, I was really starting to wonder if my new 4 element full sized 40 was working right as many CQ's went un-answered. That was to change as I spent the last 50 minutes of the contest on 40 with a endless pile-up of EU and Asians worked including UK9, HZ, 4X, 5B & several UA9's. I wish the contest would have lasted a few more hours... hi. I'm looking forward now to CQWW SSB and CW.

Now I can schedule to fly someplace the last full weekend for Sept., Oct. and Nov. I have a lot to learn about RTTY. I took a flight from the west coast the day before the contest and arrived the night before the test. My Icom IC-7000 really got the workout. The small outboard fan from Ten-Tec kept the rig running cool all weekend. It was nice traveling so light and not lugging around tons of luggage through airports.

However, it was a lot of fun with plenty of activity, even though as many have already said, the bands were el stinko. Thanks to everyone for the fills. This was also one of the few contest efforts that I ran Unassisted. I thought I would be a little lost without the spots but it all turned out alright. A couple of comments though, as dupes were greater in this contest than I've ever seen them. Believe it or not, I had the same guy call me three times in less than 5 minutes. This was very frustrating at times as occasionally the duping station was louder and masked the point/mult station that I needed. There was virtually no QRM on Sat. but by Sun., I guess the frustration was too great for some to hold back any longer. A very special thanks to Tom Rauch, W8JI for his assistance in setting up the station as it performed flawlessly. Thanks to everyone for making this a very enjoyable contest. 73'...Fred WW4LL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call: WX4TM Class: SOAB(A) HP Total Score = 775,260 Thanks to all for the Q's.

Still had lots of fun and always learn something new. Tried to make maximum use of the Cluster but was not impressed with amount, accuracy or location of spots especially with the poor props.
