| K1DC | SO LP ALL | First license 05-2022 Well, that was interesting! CONDX were generally quite good and the bands were full of signals! For various reasons, I knew I would not be competitve this year but I decided to make a serious effort none-the-less. I was away from home with a laptop and old external monitor. Screen real estate was limited. I did try my hand at SO2V for the first time. I found it challenging to navigate between the various windows but I did eventually manage to leverage it for a few more Qs here-and-there. Clearly much more practice is required. As usual, mostly S&P. Several runs were made, when I could find an open freq, but I would run out of callsers after 15-20m. Thanks to all the OPs for the Qs and a huge Thank You to Tony, K1KP, for the use of his station! |
| K2LNS | SO HP ALL | Whats with several stations sending Letters for their exchange. They were not logged. Also some sending their number before a received call sign. Maybe the letter stations were using the old teletype machines. What's the other guys excuse ? I expect many log errors due to decoding |
| 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 2024 CQ WPX RTTY. We hoped to beat our best WPX RTTY M-2 result, in 2023 3550 Q pts & 639 WPX for a 2.27 M claim. We did 1.16 X the Q pts & 1.12 X the WPX, in 31.7 vs 29 hrs BIC, for 1.3 X the score. Our Q-pt win vs 2023 was driven by +872 Q-pts on 40 & 20 M we were -307 Q_pts on 80, 15, & 10 M. At 00Z start 40 M was hot N3UM ran at 55/hr for 152 of 206 Qs by 0426Z and quit to return early. W5MPB got 76 20-M Qs, 6 15-M Qs, & 61 80-M Qs, a total of 143 by 0619Z QRT. Back on 20 M at 1213Z, N3UM ran for 30 of 71 Qs by 14Z, then got 61 15-M Qs by 16Z and ate lunch. On 20 M 1412-1639Z W5MPB got 48 20-M Qs & ate lunch. Back 1752-2100Z he got 68 20-M Qs, ate supper, & got 83 20-M Qs by 0048Z. He then got 21 15-M Qs 0054-0204Z & 24 20-M Qs, and quit at 03Z to return early. On 1832-2031Z N3UM got 17 15-M Qs & 30 10-M Qs. On 40 M 2053-2237Z he got 72 40-M Qs, 59 in a run, ate supper, & got 48 more 40-M Qs and 14 80-M Qs by 03Z. N3UM planned ~06Z QRT. But after 03Z, fast noise jumps of 2 S-units on 40 & 80 M kept him to 13 Qs by 04Z, so he quit. Sun. AM 1201-1710Z W5MPB got 155 15-M Qs N3UM 1427-1710Z got 48 20-M Qs, and we quit to eat. At 1619Z, score went 3834 above our 2023 score claim. Back 1811-1931Z, W5MPB got 16 Qs on 15 M & 10 on 10 M. Then our internet died, 34 min. 1931-2005Z. N3UM 2006-2252Z got 22 20-M Qs & 50 40-M Qs for a 660 total. W5MPB 2005-2357Z got 38 15-M Qs, 26 40-M Qs, & 3 80-M s for a 670 total. But for lo-band noise jumps & internet gap, we coulda claimed 3M-plus |
| K3JZD | SO LP ALL | Just having some fun working DX. Just used 80 watts. It was a good time to insure that my RTTY setup was still valid and refresh my memory on working RTTY events with N1MM+ |
| K4EES | SO HP ALL | I had fun! |
| K5TIA | SO HP ALL | First ever RTTY QSOs 4 me |
| K5TU | SO LP 10M | 40W with attic wire loop |
| K6SEA | SO HP 15M | Fired up the family club station for a short time at the end of the contest. Had problems with serial Nrs on N1MM, so had to send them by hand each qso.... I made my 50q x 50 M goal. Tnx for the qso's Dave ka6bim |
| K6XT | SO HP ALL | 900W to multiband GP |
| K7VIT | SO HP ALL | Pretty good conditions. With the solar pyrotechnics, I didn't hear some of the usual EU calls which I usually hear. I believe that some of the FT-8 crowd might be giving RTTY a try. Welcome to the fun. Thanks to all who answered my calls. 73, Jerry |
| K8RCT | SO HP ALL | ONLY ON FOR A SHORT TIME THIS YEAR, WISH I HAD MORE TIME IN THE CONTEST |
| K8VUS | SO LP ALL | I just love this contest! |
| K8YE | SO HP ALL | Enjoyed the good propagation and seeing all of the RTTY Activity |
| KA1C | SO LP ALL | What a lot of fun. I spent the last month helping 4 other hams get into RTTY, and they all entered this contest. I'm sure they had a great time as well! Nice to see 10m and 15m wide open. See you next year. Steve - KA1C |
| KA3GIK | SO HP ALL | used the wife's call since the ole W3 is not sought after |
| KA4JAM | SO LP ALL | Operator age 13 |
| KA6BIM | SO HP ALL | New personal best score in the contest. I improved on all bands but 15, but that was because 10 was too good I missed time on 15. I had 5 fewer mults than last year but a lot more qso's. 10 was in great shape, Nice to work EU& AF. 20 was only mediocre. Thanks for the qso's Dave ka6bim |

| KE2D | SO HP ALL | Sorry for the late submission. If this must be a check log then I understand. I woke up on Saturday morning in the middle of ARRL DX CW and realized I had forgotten to submit this. I goet so busy with work and prepping for the CW contest that I just forgot about this. If my score can be included as a regular log I'd be greatful. Thanks, KE2D |
