CQ WW RTTY 2019

A bit overdue and just for the archives.

I decided to play in CQ WW RTTY for a change. I’m not a big fan of digital modes but once in a while… Just to support the RY contest scene.

For me, this time the lousy propagation (K index peaking at 5!) seemed the more boring factor compared to the mouse clicking aspect of the RTTY mode. Or was it a lack of participation? I spent too much time in there for only 120 QSO split 56/64 between 40/20m.

I was glad that all RTTY settings on the computer still worked one year after my last RTTY QSO.

I was trying to have a little fun in #cqwwrtty but even the #20mband was a bust. Maybe the current #solarweather has something to do with it? #geomagneticstorm Either way RTTY gets boring fast. Surprise: Lebanon called in. #hamradio #amateurradio #cqcontest #rtty #instahamradio #solarham
