[TVARC] SCC RTTY Contest

[Rich Erlichman]

Well, If Frank though his submission was meager, get a load of mine. L So, sad!!

I had some equipment problems that cost me a couple of hours from the start. Just when I got the issue resolved, the XYL tells me to shut it down; We were going out for the evening. Yeah.

And then the Solar storm hit. . . . I got up before 6 AM Sunday morning thinking I was going to run up my score at sun-up, catching the end of the contest, but not a single signal heard. the CME hit us like a brick, and it was as if my antenna was disconnected. I have had better reception connected to my dummy load.

With really bad conditions and little operating time, I at least got to practice N1MM with FLDIGI for the SCC RTTY contest this weekend.

Here are my meager results (note: 80M was horrible and the rest was just poor). This is just a pic from N1MM. Easier than typing it!!!

As a note of interest. The exchange was RST and year first licensed as a ham. I contacted 3 hams with first license in 1947 and 1948 plus 14 hams licensed in the 1950’s and only 5 hams first licensed in 2000 and up!!!!!  Is this a sign of decreasing interest in our great hobby. If so, lets get those youngsters interested and licensed!!!!!
