KH6AQSO LP 15MThis is my first serious RTTY contest effort and it was great fun. There was a learning curve and problems with the radio and software that slowed me down during the first couple of hours. I am looking forward to the 2025 CQ WW RTTY. 73

N0VTSA HP ALLFlex 6600 Antennas:
N4CWMSHJim did 95% of the operating. Thanks for the Q's
N4IWSA LP ALLAs usual, I had several commitments this weekend that kept me busy, one of which was radio/runner safety duty during the 50th annual Virginia 10 Miler on Saturday morning. RTTY is certainly a lot of fun! It is the perfect combination of radio and software which I love. I even had a couple of decent Runs on Sunday afternoon, which is rare for me. I tried to catch Rick (NN4RB) for a while, but he was still going too strong when I had to quit, so it was not to be. Jerry (W1IE) was too far ahead to even think about! Wow! The Flex 6400 and all the software performed flawlessly. Propagation was great for me. I always wonder why there is not more routine RTTY on the bands. It was a blast!
N4MCCSA LP ALLMy first WW RTTY Contest. Had a great time. Looking forward to next year,
N4MLSO LP ALLOperator age 20. DOB is January 11 2004
N5LPTSA HP ALLHad so much fun this year with great propagation from my QTH!!! Can't wait till next year to see if I can beat my score this year
N5SMQSO LP ALLHad a BLAST as always!!!
N6ARSA HP ALLLots of EU and NA but all the real DX was sucked up by the FT8 subbands
N6HISO QRP ALLQRP, 5W Maximum to a 20-Foot End-Fed Wire. All DX worked with 5W. All USA & VE with ½W. My focus was to work as many Countries as possible during the time I could devote to this. Time was limited by family weekend activities, and I missed some good propagation, but still worked 29 Countries & USA with QRP RTTY. 10 meters was the best band for me for DX. Thanks for your patience and the QSOs! Go Arizona Outlaws! -73- John N6HI
N6IMYChecklogMy first RTTY contacts
N6WMMMgreat conditions!
N7CKJSO LP ALLPut forth a real effort, this time. RTTY contests are a blast, almost more fun than FT8 AND you can run a full 100 Watts without worrying about your ALC! My antenna system was a set of Hamsticks on my Toyota Tundra, in the driveway. Bandchanging required periodically swapping whips and adding a matching transformer for 40 Meters
N7VPNSO LP ALLWish I had more time on the radio
N8OQSO LP ALLLate upload, Oops... only 5 days
N8VWSO LP 15MRYRYRYRY HAD FUN SK
N8VWYSO LP ALLIC-7100, HOMEBREW MODEM AND TERMINAL, VERTICAL WIRE ANTENNA. TU ALL GL 73
N9OKSA HP ALLSunday were the best operating conditions I remember experiencing in a long time. It was a ton of fun! That balanced out wasting virtually all Friday and Saturday due to issues with my newly rebuilt computer, resulting in not starting until late Saturday evening
N9TFSO LP ALLOnly operated Friday night and Saturday into early Sunday morning. Called it at 05:25UTC Sunday morning. Bands were hopping with good DX, just could not establish a run. Usually 5 or 6 Qs, then dry. So about 99.9% S&P. Hung around in too many DX pileups, some successful, some not so. All in all, a fun contest as usual. 73 and thanks for the Qs. K3S 100 watts to 6BTV ground mounted modified W/160m parallel wire inverted L
NA7TBMSHWOW!!! This was an exceptional year for propagation. 10 meters just would not quit, and we took full advantage both days
NG1MSO LP ALLSecond submission. In my exhaustion yesterday - or OLD AGE - I forgot that CLASSIC means NO SO2R. And I was SO2R. My original plan was to contest for ~40 hours, but I guess that's something one works up to. I'm still recovering from 24 hours! Youth is wasted on the YOUNG!!
NI1QSA LP ALL7610 with TB-Wires. I had more off time than I had hoped as my partner had a knee replacement this week. Also my puppy cost me about 3 hours for a revenge cleanup. I was exhausted and my sleep needs were more than I had expected. This was my first contest with my new 2ele beam. I'm not sure if it is aligned properly but it was a joy to use
NK4OSO LP ALLOnly ran 50w over the weekend. 10m had some great openings and lots of activity
NT9ESO LP ALLGreat contest
