N5SMQSO LP ALLHad a great time as always!!!
N6ARSO HP ALLPoor Cndx Asia. Off times more dependent on family than on propagation
N6HISO QRP ALLRan 2 Watts QRP to a 20 foot wire thrown into a tree out my window. 20m Fair, 40m Fair, 15m Poor, 10m MIA. Spent a lot of time in this one, and made my goal to set a new personal best record for number of QSOs in a RTTY contest using 2W and my 20 Foot hunk of wire. Not much DX, I had NO EU, AF, or even Asia! Heard some JAs, but not quite strong enough for me to work them. Plenty of activity to keep me busy, lots of fun. I wish we had contests just like this but with more modern Digi modes. Come on gang, Digi contests are fun, but its time to retire RTTY. Thanks to all for the QSOs. GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! 73 John N6HI

N7WYSO HP ALL3rd RTTY contest - need to check MMTTY AFC behavior and settings
N9SJSO LP 20MVery first RTTY contest/contacts for me!
N9TFSO LP ALLFirst 50 or so Q's I noticed were all new mults, so I decided to make this a contest within a contest and work only new prefix's. My time was limited to just a few blocks of time throughout the weeknd, and making a game out of searching for only new mults added a different challenge. Tuning up and down the bands I watched for red call signs to decode in N1MM and then pounced on them! There were a few times when new prefix's were few and far between, and I was tempted to call CQ. But I didn't wanr to interrupt the perfect stream of red checkmark multipliers in the log! Sure wish I could have played all afternoon Sunday to the end of the contest. There are usually more "new" stations calling CQ the last few hours of the contest, and I may have been able to reach 500/500, Q's and mults. I don't usually have much luck with low power and low antennas attracting other S&Pers, so things turned out pretty productive for my alloted time to play. Band conditions seemed pretty good, but much better Sunday morning for EU DX on 15 and 20. Ended up with 57 DX entities worked and a few new ones for RTTY. Lots of activity and lots of fun. 73 Gene N9TF Rig, K3S/P3 100 watts. Antennas, 2 element triband 10/15/20 at 37', 100' short 40/80 dipole at 35' apex. MMTTY/N1MM+

NL7SSO HP 20MCONDX were fair. Surprised to work a couple of EU stns. N1MM vfo window kept loosing connection to the FT-1000. Had to "reset radio" in that window often - cannot trust the freq on many of thsee QSOs. Not sure what the probelm is. Nice to have lots of great signals on 20m
NM9PSO LP ALLFlex-6500 @ 100 W. T-11 LP, & OCF Dipole. This is my first CQ WPX RTTY. I had been sick all week, so only had a few hours to operate on Saturday. Lots of fun. Hope to have a stronger entry next year
NN5TSO LP ALLThe exchange is defined as "RST report plus a progressive contact serial number starting with 001 for the first contact." Many station only sending just serial number, or not complete 3 digit serial such 5991. What's if one station did not send '599', and other assumed '599' and logged. Is this complete contact? Contest committee, please review the rule and enforce
NO2TSO HP ALLHad a nice time. low band propagation was good. Should have spent more time on 40 meters. Started out poorly. Needed time to get into the contest and my score shows it. However, made up for my poor start Saturday morning when I got into my stride
