[TVARC] RTTY Roundup K2PS SO RTTY HP

[n4fp.wayne]

Way to go, Pete. We had other things going on so only spent about 5 hours and made 143 qsos, 35 sections and 6 dx, for score of 6149 using Titan 425 amp on loan from K0SMX, running kw. Worked K2TE when I was running on 20.  Spent a lot of time S&P just to see what was happening. 73,Wayne, N4FPOcala, FLSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I also had a bit more timeon my hands, since I'm in the COVID quarantine period (and feeling fine,thank you).  Well, one thing led to another and my butt kept staying in thechair.  It's an easy contest to operate - put F1 on loop (but a slower loopthan for CW to keep the amp from overheating), read stuff, do crosswordpuzzles, etc., until hearing a response, work him, repeat.  S&P is a bitmore focus-intensive, of course, but my technique - using the panadapter:wait about five seconds, freeze the screen, then tune and work eachdisplayed RTTY signal, and make my way down the band.Lots of W/VE stations to work, and loud, of course.  Of the US states,missed only ND.  Also didn't work AK, but that was considered DX in thiscontest.  DX was a bit harder to come by, and signals generally weak.Didn't hear Rich, ND4G, or Ed, K2TE, at all, but did hear Tony, K4QR, onetime, working a guy I needed.  Had to wait a couple of QSOs before I got inthere.73, Pete, K2PS                    ARRL RTTY Roundup - 2022Call: K2PSOperator(s): K2PSStation: K2PSClass: SO RTTY HPQTH: FLOperating Time (hrs): 16Summary: Band  RTTY Qs  Dig Qs-----------------------   80:                 40:   240           20:   232           15:   124           10:    15        -----------------------Total:   611       0  State/Prov = 56  Countries = 40  Total Score = 58,656Club: The Villages Amateur Radio ClubCommentsPosted using 3830 Score Submittal Forms at: http://www.3830scores.com/______________________________________________________________TVARC mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/tvarcHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:TVARC at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
