01/14/2008 | KK5CA This was my first significant RU effort in many years. It was also my first RTTY contest using the RigExpert Standard interface and MixW on the Vista OS. Running an Icom 746 in FSK, I had to do all the tuning with the radio and not with the waterfall. This was not much different than when using a hardware multi-mode controller. I beat my previous best QSO total in this contest (set when there were some sunspots) by about 8 percent. It was good to work some stations on 15m and even some new DX on 80m. It was confusing to see some stations calling CQ in the automatic message network sub-bands. -- KK5CA
