Hi there all.
Last weekend I worked in CQ WPX RTTY contest. Totally I made 241 QSOs. Band were: 10M, 15M, 20M, 40M. In my activity I got:
DX - YB0, LU, VR2, VK3, BH, D44, ST2, JA, EA8 EUROPE - UA/R, OK, HA, LY, G/GW/GM, SM/LN, SV/SV9, IT/IT9/IS0, F, EA, Z37, and so.... COULD NOT MAKE - CE3/VE7SV, S9DX, 9M2, N/K.
I didn't hear anybody on 10m band when I called CQ on 28,082 MHz instead of TJ9PF worked on this QRG. I moved to 28,086 MHz. There I made 3-4 QSOs. Time to time I jumped on to 10m and called CQ to make local QSOs in RTTY contest. Actually, I worked on 15m, 20m, 40m. I tried to call one station on 80m using 10Watts but it was unfortunately.
About S9DX: At that time I spoke by cell-phone to Vit, RX0AT. We moved to 21,121 MHz (do not remember now HI) and I heard S9DX but signal was very weak at my end. Vit said: I hear it strongly, listen.. I heard the signal from the phone, it was strong but on my screen it was weak. S9DX worked with SPLIT 10kHz, so I was needed to transmitt my signal on 21,131 MHz. My TRX has 2 receivers but I have no second antenna to work with this big shift. Maximun CLAR I have is 9,99 kHz. I missed the S9DX in the test and back to continue work in contest with other stations on the bands.
Statistics: 40M band - 54 QSO 20M band - 105 QSO 15M band - 79 QSO 10M band - 3 QSO
I never worked DIGI contests as this one before. It was 1st experience to work in DIGI contest and CQ call on it. Now, I have worked and liked it much. I didn't work to a such result, but had much much fun of contest. It is a HAM SPIRIT!! Yes, it does.
My setup: - TX/RX: Yaesu Ft-1000MP MARK-V Field - ANT: Inverted V 10m, 20m, 40m bands - PWR: 80-100 Watts - SOFT: UR5EQF Log v.3.29-5

73! GL es DX.
