2011 ARRL RTTY Roundup

01/18/2011 | P40P

When P49V and P40YL's rental became available for RU - I jumped on it.    I have always enjoyed being at the Aruba rental.    RTTY is not my best mode and hopefully I'm on a steep uphill learning curve to improve the score.   At times seemed a struggle, operator problems, interface problems

Short trip flying in about midnight Thursday night and departing island early Monday morning after the contest.   The log will be uploaded to LOTW.   Used two laptops instead of single keyboard this contest, A K3 and 1000D in SO2R mode.  

Ed P49X and I had dinner post contest to discuss rates, conditions and contest.   Think both of us set personal new high QSO totals, how be it Ed's is in totally different performance class!  Congrads!   

Attached picture is in Ed's shack a few miles south of my operating position.    P40P on left, P49X on right

Thanks again to Carl & Sue for opening up the station for RU weekend
