START-OF-LOG: 3.0 CONTEST: CQ-WW-RTTY CALLSIGN: K1DC LOCATION: EMA CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP CATEGORY-ASSISTED: ASSISTED CATEGORY-BAND: ALL CATEGORY-POWER: LOW CATEGORY-MODE: RTTY CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE CATEGORY-STATION: FIXED CATEGORY-OVERLAY: ROOKIE GRID-LOCATOR: FN42JP CLAIMED-SCORE: 1418682 NAME: Timothy Carter OPERATORS: K1DC CLUB: YANKEE CLIPPER CONTEST CLUB SOAPBOX: First license 05-2022. SOAPBOX: Wow ? Amazing! SOAPBOX: This is my last year qualifying as a Rookie and SOAPBOX: conditions were set for a great outing peak solar cycle, the use SOAPBOX: of a fantastic station (Thanks, Tony!) and my partner is away at SOAPBOX: a conference - Game On! SOAPBOX: The only caveat was the lack of a 40m SOAPBOX: antenna and a second tribander - bad WX the prior week had SOAPBOX: prevented the tower work necessary to repair the second tower SOAPBOX: feedline. I was undeterred! I spent a few days of the prior SOAPBOX: week reviewing last year's scores, finally learning how to use SOAPBOX: the call queue in N1MM and watching videos on RTTY contesting. I SOAPBOX: felt I had a good shot at beating my NA Rookie record and NA 8th SOAPBOX: place overall SOA-LP scores from last year. SOAPBOX: Yup. SOAPBOX: humblebragFinal tally (before log checks) was about 3x last SOAPBOX: year! It also appears that I have beaten the old LP Rookie World SOAPBOX: record by a comfortable margin. /humblebrag I was following SOAPBOX: the updates on the contest scoreboard and I was on top for most SOAPBOX: of the weekend. PY2UD put in a big push in the last hours and SOAPBOX: pushed past me - well done! (I had configured N1MM to update SOAPBOX: the contest scoreboard but it was reporting errors during the SOAPBOX: contest and I didn't want to take the time to troubleshoot it SOAPBOX: so my scores did not appear.) SOAPBOX: Now that 3830 data is coming in I see that I'll be lucky to SOAPBOX: finish in the top 10 - congrats to Malcolm, KI1G! SOAPBOX: The waterfalls from 10 & 15m were sights to behold - solid signals SOAPBOX: across the entire RTTY segment. It was difficult to find a spot SOAPBOX: to run. I had to move several times as new signals popped up SOAPBOX: defeating even the narrowest of filters. 20m was also busy and 80 SOAPBOX: was pretty quiet with less than 100 Qs. I didn't find that SOAPBOX: running LP to be much of a hindrance. Most every station I SOAPBOX: called responded after one or two calls. Only in the pileups SOAPBOX: around the rarer DX stations (Vietnam, Nepal, Jordan, etc.) was I SOAPBOX: frustrated. SOAPBOX: I'm certain I have much to learn - like when/where SOAPBOX: to point, what band to be on at a given time (80m I'm takin' SOAPBOX: about you!), when to switch from runningS&Prunning, etc. but SOAPBOX: overall I'm pretty chuffed at this year's contest result. SOAPBOX: Thanks to all who participated and many, MANY thanks to Tony, SOAPBOX: K1KP for the generous use of his station! SOAPBOX: Equipment: Flex-6400 SOAPBOX: Antennas: TX38 tribander and 2el 80m phased delta loop. SOAPBOX: First licensed: May-2022 (as KC1RET) CREATED-BY: N1MM Logger+ 1.0.10476.0 ...
