Nice job, Pete. You, Tony, Ed and Rich did a good job this weekend.

Subject: [TVARC] RTTY Roundup K2PS SO RTTY HP

After realizing that I made exactly zero RTTY QSOs all of last year, I

figured I'd at least work a few in the Roundup. I also had a bit more time

on 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 the

chair. It's an easy contest to operate - put F1 on loop (but a slower loop

than for CW to keep the amp from overheating), read stuff, do crossword

puzzles, etc., until hearing a response, work him, repeat. S&P is a bit

more focus-intensive, of course, but my technique - using the panadapter:

wait about five seconds, freeze the screen, then tune and work each

displayed 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 this

contest. 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, one

time, working a guy I needed. Had to wait a couple of QSOs before I got in

there.
