Last weekend was the JARTS RTTY contest, so I decided to have a dabble and see what I could work in-between decoding and processing International Space Station passes. conditions to my surprise were reasonable and managed to work 9M2 a couple of times on 20m although I never managed to log any JA stations perhaps I was just timing it wrong or had the wrong type of antenna.
What I was surprised to see was 15m open up to North America for a while and I ended up with 7qs on this band. 40m on Saturday evening was also good managing 67q’s including quite a few W’s who seemed rather easy to work even with my setup!
Ended up with 140Q’s and a score of 22 152 with around 3 hours of operating time.
