[Ham-Mac] After Action Report on fldigi in the BARTG HF RTTY Contest

[Dick Kriss]

After action report on fldigi-3.21.68 in the BARTG HF RTTY contest.

1. Fldigi worked fine. The bands were terrible and I had family issues so it was a part time effort.

2. Had some cockpit startup issues that were cleared by restarting fldigi.

3. The Cabrillo Report worked perfect.  I used the LoTW tqsl app to sign my aa5vu.log file created by fldigi for upload to LoTW and got the appended report from the UK Contest Manager on the first submittal.

I use fldigi by W1HKJ for daily QSO and contesting because it runs on Mac OS X, has an excellent digital decoder and is easy to use.

I had family commitments so my effort was part time. My objective was to work a 100 Q's and quit. I did but came back for seconds. I hope 10 meters was better for others.
