W0YJTSO LP ALLcontest clock says 20 hours 10 mins I tried to slow down so i would not make mistakes felt did a lot better this year
W0YKMSHAnother RTTY contest from the great K6MTU Mountain Top station. All operators remote, and one volunteer could never get his setup working, so we only managed 36 of the 48 hrs, and essentially no Mult radio. 20m was crowded at the start, then at night we wish we had crowds on 80m... Nice to have 10m open to Europe, and 15m was very good as well. Flex 6700, Elecraft KPA1500 JK Mid-Tribander at 95 feet high JK 4 el 40m yagi at 110 feet 80m 4-square array VPN and TightVNC software Writelog logging with MMTTY and 2Tone decoders

W4MLBMSH8 members of the Platinum Coast Amateur Radio Society participated in this year's running of the CQWW RTTY Contest. After a summer of station improvements and work on antennas and feedlines, the station worked very well! On Sunday, we noticed that 40m was much noisier than Saturday night, along with somewhat poor conditions on almost all bands on Sunday afternoon. During the weekend though, all bands seemed pretty good. We had two of our members who had little experience with RTTY contesting or N1MM Logger, but there was lots of learning this weekend and everyone of the participants had fun! 73/DX, Ryan, N0OJ PCARS Contest Chairman

WA1SXKChecklogI just helped the contesters make extra points, lots of fun to brush up on my RTTY mode operations. Best of 73s Eric/wa1sxk
WA8YSA HP ALLI didn't have much time but it gave me a chance to practice RTTY skills with N1MM and to test me remote connection from my daughter's home in Ohio. But my Grandson's football game was my priority. And wow, he did not disappoint
WB6JJJSO HP ALLRTTY contests are just fun... Friday evening, I couldn't get a run going so S&P worked well. It seemed that there were more people running than S&Ping. Friday evening was nice with a low noise level on 40 and 80. But Saturday, with our first rain of the season, my DB-36/80 antenna had high SWR on 40 and 80. Oh well... Sunday late afternoon on the high bands was fun with a good run on 15 Meters to the end of the contest. Both Saturday and Sunday we had a bunch of extended family stuff taking up a lot of radio time. Thanks for our QSOs. Bill

WO2YSO HP ALLCQ contests are always the most fun because of high participation, and because the exchange makes for a high number of contacts!
WQ6XSA LP ALLThis is another ad-HOC CQ WW RTTY Contest from W7AYT's QTH in Concord. In using the RigExpert TI-5000 transceiver interface, I could get the transmit audio to respond properly so I cheated by way of a patch cord from the laptop headphone jack to the mic plug on the Yaesu FT-2000. The FT-2000 runs 85-watts RTTY very CooLly. I was just playing around in the contest until I encounter a 2nd-day-in-a-row occurrence of 10-meters being open much of Saturday/Sunday. That is when I decided to make this a 10-meter only LoG submission. There was a pipeline to JA Sunday afternoon. I was able to load the 3-el 10m yagi on 15-meters and briefly even on 20-meters, kinda like a gigantic BuddiPole. LooK for a write-UP on this GiG at: http://WQ6X.Blogspot.com
