BARTG HF RTTY Contest
This weekend was the yearly BARTG HF RTTY Contest, and even though propagation is pretty poor there was still plenty of stations to work. This was also the first time I got to try the Yaesu FT-950 properly with the new firmware and it preformed brilliant the DSP and filters made stations transmitting close together decode perfectly.
Best DX was probably being called by a JA on 20m Saturday morning just before lunch and J5 and LT0 in the evening, sadly didn’t manage to work any VK but think that’s bad timing on my part.
Station Equipment: Yaesu FT-950, Radioworks 80m Windom, Signalink USB and MixW.
