Some of you may recall that, incredibly, I managed to become the world-wide winner of last December’s Ten-Meter RTTY Contest.  I did put up my 4-element yagi  in the backyard for the contest, but still managed only 32 contacts over the 24 hours.  Conditions were horrible, but I guess they were a little less horrible into Central Florida than they were in the rest of the world.  Or maybe I was just a little crazier than everyone else for being willing to knock my head against the wall trying to make QSOs.

  

Well, I just received my award for winning, and it wasn’t just another certificate that the XYL won’t let me put on the wall.  I’ve attached a photo.  The best part of this now is that, when some non-ham asks, “so what did you win?”, I have something to which they can relate.

  

Not sure if I ever sent this link, but seeing it for a second time won’t hurt:  https://www.rttycontesting.com/ten-meter-rtty-contest/results/2017-results/

  

73, Pete, K2PS
