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.

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.
