It maybe a week late, but here is my part in last weeks VOLTA (Italy) WW RTTY Contest.
Conditions were semi-OK, with some solar flares once again acting up on the weekend to mess with propagation. Do you think the flares can happen during the week? . . .just saying.
I had limited time, so I entered in the 6 hour category. Scoring was crazy, as it was the number of Qs multiplied by the points awarded for each Q, multiplied by the number of multipliers. On the Volta website, there was a downloadable chart showing the number of points based on CQ Zone. N1MM had it all factored in.
Also interesting was NO POWER Category.
