[TVARC] RTTY WPX K2PS SOAB HP

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

Since the XYL is away got a lot of time to play radio.  Only started around
3P Saturday, but this RTTY contest really hooked me.  WPX contests are not
my favorite, since there are way too many multipliers (prefixes), but it
does allow us to work anyone, anywhere, and participation is pretty good.
It's also good that there are still lots of folks who enjoy RTTY.

Conditions were not great - although maybe I was just looking through the
lens of FT8 propagation.  Hard to get runs going on any band other than 40,
but 40 was excellent.  Happy to work 45 stations on 80, even into EU, with
my 40M inverted vee and fantastic KAT500 tuner.  Nothing heard on 10, and 15
was sparse.

Looking forward to the ARRL DX CW Contest this coming weekend.  The world
will be trying to work just us, unlike CQWW, and it's all on CW.  What's not
to like?
