BARTG Sprint RTTY

This weekend was host to the yearly BARTG Sprint RTTY, I decided to spend a couple of hours in the shack working the odd station I could hear. What I was pleased to find was that 15m and I made a number of QSOs into North America, 20m was also reasonable maybe a sign of conditions starting to pick up who knows.

Ended up with 80 QSOs, mixed across 40m to 15m.

Summary:

	QSO	DX	JA	W	VE	VK	Cont
40m	8	7	0	0	0	0	1
20m	67	28	0	4	1	0	4
15m	5	1	0	3	0	0	1
Total	80	28	0	6	1	0	4

Score: 80*(28+0+6+1+0)*4 = 11200 points

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.

Summary:

       QSO    DX    JA    W    VE    VK    Cont
80m    18     12    0     0    0     0     1
40m    42     19    0     2    1     0     3
20m    71     30    1     6    3     0     5
Total  131    40    1     6    3     0     5

Score: 131*(40+1+6+3+0)*5 = 32750 points
