| KN4IJZ | SO LP ALL | FIRST LICENSED DECEMBER 14 2017 |
| KZ2I | SO LP ALL | 1st RTTY test ever! Just installed MMTTY this week |
| KZ9V | SO LP ALL | Why RTTY signals only during contests??? |
| L73H | SA LP ALL | GOOD CONDX |
| LA8OKA | SO LP ALL | In for the fun, conditions not very good this year, not much DX, but fun |
| LB3RE | SO LP 40M | Wires Only |
| LC6C | SA HP ALL | Social committments and operator's lack of finer understanding of the radio/software combination took out some hours of the contest, but having climbed the learning curve the radio/software combinaton IC-7600, N1MM Logger+ and MMTTY worked great. OK conditions on 40 and 20, but few Asian stations to be heard. Nothing on 10 |
| LN5O | SA HP 20M | Single Wire only - but no class for wires only single band!! |
| LU5VV | SO HP ALL | NICE CONTEST AS USUAL . POOR CONDX AND SNOWING AT THIS SIDE SO PROBLEMS WITH SWR. TNX FOR ALL OMS WHO CONTACT WITH ME. HOPE SEE YOU NEXT YEAR 73 |
| LY5T | SA LP ALL | My first personal RTTY attempt |
| LY5W | SA HP 20M | New LY Record claimed |
| LY7Z | M2 | wo operators father and son M/2 entry. We are happy to be on the air again together |
| LZ2JA | SO LP 20M | RIG: IC-7000 100W ANT: OB16-3 |
| LZ8U | SA QRP 40M | RIG ALT-512 5W ANT 2EL |
| M0UNI | SA HP 40M | Had a fantastic contest. Everything worked faultlessly |
| M1DDD | SO HP ALL | On and off search and pounce from home. Single op unassisted CLASSIC, FT847-400W-60' top fed inv-L with 9:1 unun at 6m |
| M1SJE | SA LP ALL | Flexradio 6500 into a Diamond CP5-HS |
| M6OWV | SA LP 20M | Licenced July 2018 |
| M6VFT | SA LP ALL | First licensed May 2017 |
| M6W | SA LP 20M | Conditions not great but not poor little ionisation |
| M6YTU | SA LP ALL | ROOKIE FIRST LICENCED 2ND APRIL 2016 |
| M7V | SO LP ALL | Not a serious entry, a couple of hours in and out of the shack, using an 80M dipole |
| MI4I | SA LP ALL | Nice to see 10m open for a short while |
| MJ5Z | SO LP ALL | 80m: dipole 40m: dipole 20-10m: Optibeam and C3 2 x K3, MK2R+, 2 x OMBPF6, Win-Test, Funcube Pro+ I could not participate this contest last year and have not operated RTTY contest for almost 2 years so bit of work before the contest starts. 80m propagation to W/VE was poor as no strong signal at sunrise on both Saturday and Sunday. 20m was ok then seems running out of station after late Sunday afternoon. As reported everywhere, surprise opening on 15m on Sunday afternoon made highest Qs rate of 108 and increased score nicely. Overall better than expected. Thanks everyone for QSO! See you next one. 73 Kazu MJ5Z, MJ0CFW, M5Z, M0CFW, JK3GAD |
| N0SMX | SO LP ALL | 100w and end fed wire up 15ft. Lots of fun |
| N1EN | SA LP ALL | 29-09 0044 CO8ZZ was sending 18 (serial number? next contact was 19) |
| N1IXF | SO LP ALL | Thanks for a great contest! Always fun to operate but a real challenge this year with no 10M (save my one Q with W1AAW!) and little 15M to spread the RF energy out during the daylight. At times, it seemed like the entire RTTY community was on either 20M or 40M. Rates were extremely slow so here's to hoping that 'Butt In Chair'" strategy pays off. Thanks to all who worked me |
| N3RC | SA HP ALL | First TTY contest with Flex 6600, the panadapter was very, very useful!! |
| N3VOP | SO LP ALL | Always learning things. First time with 6 digit score |
| N4CO | SO LP 20M | Worked 40 and 20 meters for perhaps a total of about 6 hours air time |
| N4CW | SO HP ALL | Thanks to W0YK for all his efforts in putting this contest together |
| N4IQ | SA HP ALL | My favorite RTTY contest .... the PREMIER of all RTTY contests. SO2R 2x TS590's 2x 600w All wire antennas: 160M C Windom (used on 40M) 2x 40/20M Super Loops NE/SW & NW/SE (used on 20M) 2x 30/15M Super Loops NE/SW & NW/SE (used on 15M) 80M C Windom (used on 80M) K9RY RX Loops SDR Pans N1MM+ |
| N4TZ | SO LP ALL | IC7610 decoder - manually entered into logging program - no point and click here |
| N6HI | SO QRP ALL | Ran QRP, ONE HALF WATT to a 20 Foot End Fed Wire. I did not snag a lot of DX in this one, but had a lot of fun seeing what a 1/2 Watt RTTY can do. Band condx were not the best of course. I managed to complete 48 total contacts, and earn just a few token points for the Arizona Outlaws Contest Club. Thanks to all for the QSOs. It was fun! GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! 73 John N6HI |
| N7TY | SA HP 40M | Great first contest from new QTH in Arizona, had a lot of fun |
| N7VPN | SO LP ALL | Things are looking up. Next year will be even better |
| N7VS | SO LP ALL | Conflicts limited operating time. Hope to be more active next year |
| N8BJQ | SA HP ALL | Much better conditions than I expected. Nice to see 15M open |
| N8H | Checklog | Was working primarily Feld Hell, but when RTTY started running amok over the usual frequencies for Hellschreiber, we decided to make a few contacts with plain old rtty. Forgot to collect S/P/C info, so this is a checklog from the crossroads called Hell, Michigan. Needless to say, we three, (K8JH, KB8KB, and N8XX) had a 'helluva good time' We don't wish to create NIL's for those who we worked |
| N8LRG | SO HP ALL | Used a new IC-7610 and was very happy with the rig during the contest. Phil N8LRG |
| N8TCP | SO LP ALL | Had fun |
| N8URE | SO QRP 20M | RS-HFIQ radio with FLDIGI and 20m resonant loop |
| N9EAT | SA LP ALL | First time doing any serious amount of RTTY. Look forward to next year after some station improvements |
| N9OK | SA HP ALL | 80M was hopping Sunday night. Quite a change from the terrible conditions on Saturday. Overall was a pretty good contest. Had a lot of other stuff going on including CW practice (Texas QSO party) for my CW Academy class |
| N9TF | SO LP ALL | Personal best, lots of fun! Just hope log checking is kind. Low power low hanging antennas at the bottom of the solar cycle makes for a challenging contest! Had to give many repeats, and worked hard for DX on 20m. Nice short openings on 15 both afternoons to EU/AF and SA. Found out my 40/80 short dipole has stretched out some. High SWR on 80m was a bit more challenging. Love the classic category! Just me and the radio and no distractions! Rig, K3S MMTTY N1MM+ to 2 elem triband at 37' and 100' short 40/80 diopole at 35' apex sloping down. 73 Gene, N9TF |
| NC6K | SA HP ALL | Just a partial effort to see if my station still works on any mode except FT8, and if I remember how to contest. Conditions on 20 M and down weren't as bad as I thought they might be, but 15 M was a bust whenever I checked it. I was only planning to operate an hour or two, but found myself getting hooked as soon as I started. That's the best part of contesting - it draws me in every time! |
| NG7E | SA HP ALL | First RTTY contest.. What a blast! |
| NJ1T | SO HP ALL | Sending on MixW and Logging on N3FJP .. buzzy as a BEE |
| NR4O | SA HP ALL | Great activity for this contest. Had a great time operating |
| NX6T | SA LP 40M | This is another WQ6X remote operation from NX6T in Fallbrook. The biggest bunch of QSOs were on 40, hence a 40-M Log. This was another wing-it as I go weekend running NX6T remotely from W7AYT's QTH in Concord, Ca. It was a kick to occasional copy the NX6T Fallbrook signal directly in Concord (EB Section). I ran an Elecraft K3 at 100 watts for S&P, dialed back to 55 watts when running a frequency - virtually everyone I called came right back to me. The Shorty-40 yagi ran extremely well until the last hour of the contest when the rotor display failed and I couldn't remember where it was last pointed. This weekend was a GREAT equipment tester for next weekend's CQP contest. LooK for a writeup on this gig at |
