The submission deadline has passed for the 2011 ARRL RTTY Roundup contest and according to Sean Kutzko, KX9X, ARRL Contest Branch Manager, a total of 1563 logs were received at ARRL Headquarters.

“That’s down ever so slightly from last year’s 1592 total,” Kutzko said. “The trend for the last several years has been upward, so this may be just a brief plateau. Of course, the total represents only the stations that sent in logs, not the total number of stations that participated in the contest.”
