| K3CCR | M2 | K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and W5MPB did Multi-2 in 2023 CQ WPX RTTY. Zero Signalink audio out meant no K3 Tx (bad cable? TBD) so we used K3s and Orion backup. M-2 is more fun than M-1. We hoped to beat our 2022 WPX RTTY M-2 result of 917 Qs and 1.4 M claimed. We did 1.33 X the QSO pts, 1.2 X the mults, and 1.6 X the score claim, in 29 vs 31 hrs BIC. High SFI of 212 helped we got 5 fewer Qs on 80 thru 20 M this year, but 352 more Qs on 15 & 10 M! At 0Z start N3UM on 40 M ran for 88 Qs, then clicked spots for 146 total at 0420Z and quit to return early. W5MPB clicked for 65 20-M Qs, then 33 80-M Qs for a total of 98 at 0544Z QRT. From 1217Z Sat. N3UM ran at 42/hr for 29 of 71 Qs on 20 M + 5 on 40 M, and broke to eat at 16Z. W5MPB ran for 25 of 46 Qs on 15 M 1249-1427Z, then ran at 50/hr for 28 of 61 Qs on 10 M and broke to eat at 1644Z. From 18-2050Z N3UM got 86 Qs on 15 M, 38 in a run at 60/hr. He then got 26 Qs on 10 M and broke to eat at 2205Z. From 1830-2203Z W5MPB got 84 Qs on 20 M, 16 running, and broke to eat. Back at 2321Z he band- hopped for 32 20-M Qs, 34 15-M Qs, and 2 40-M Qs, then quit at 0235 to return early. From 2353-0215Z N3UM got 99 40-M Qs, 76 running at 58/hr. Then 0221 to 0425Z QRT N3UM got 61 80-M Qs, 36 in 2 runs. Sun. 1253-1702Z W5MPB got 68 Qs on 15 M + 40 Qs on 10 M and broke to eat. N3UM 1419-1616Z got 34 20-M Qs and broke to eat. Good rate 1824-23Z 238 Qs, 52/hr. W5MPB got 63 Qs on 10 M and 61 on 15 M, and N3UM got 59 Qs on 20 M and 55 on 40 M. Rate died after 23Z W5MPB got 9 Qs on 15 M + 9 on 10 M, and N3UM got 10 Qs on 80 M. We got 5 YBs, on 20 & 15 M. Sunspots are back |
| K5TRP | SO LP ALL | Operator age 15 DOB 07-08-2007 |
| K6TLH | SO LP ALL | Just having some fun and handing out some points to others this year |
| K6VHF/HR9 | SO LP 10M | My first RTTY contest from Honduras |
| K7LFY | SO HP ALL | 15m was much improved this year here in the NW USA |
| K7NT | SO HP ALL | I don't think I have ever spent any time in a RTTY contest. I made a few RTTY QSOs back in the 1990s but never in a contest. It was very interesting and enjoyable. I sat down in front of the rig about 9 PM Friday evening and decided to get the Icom 7610 on RTTY. Learned a lot about the 7610 and about computer interfacing. I used N1MM+ and MTTY with EXTFSK and after fiddling around a bit, reading and watching Youtube videos it started copying RTTY. (The 7610 can do that on its own and that was a 1 minute deal to figure that out). A bit more fiddling and it was able to transmit and I started working a few on 40 and 1 or 2 on 80. Saturday morning 15 was lively and it was easy to work Europe with my 2-300 watts to the Greyline Flagpole antenna. Goofed off with it off and on Saturday and will look forward to doing more RTTY contesting! |
| K9ZXO | Checklog | messed up the count, didn't I? |
| KA1C | SO LP ALL | Nice to have 10 & 15 meters wide open! What a blast! Steve - KA1C |
| KA2AEY | SO HP ALL | Great Contest, had a lot of fun |
| KA6BIM | SO HP ALL | Great to have 10 Mtrs open! It was my leading band until just before the end. 20 just plain sucked. 40 and 80 performed fairly well, but fewer 6 point stations worked. Overall it was my 2nd best SOAB entry. Thanks for the qso's Dave ka6bim |
| KB4QZH | SO HP ALL | Nice to see the bands open |
| KB7SDM | SO LP ALL | First license 06-2021 |

| KF0ADU | SO LP ALL | First license 05-2020 Licensed 05/19/2020 |
| KF2TI | SO HP ALL | I set up a specific button in N1MM to correct my callsign whenever it was replied wrong. In the 3 dozen or so times I used it, only 8 actually acknowledged it and made the correction. In several cases, I asked the CQ again, and reentered the contact when they used my call correctly Very frustrating |
| KF5VRD | SO LP ALL | OPERATED AT 50W |
| KG5EIU | SO LP ALL | Fun to work all 5 bands |
