This is the third time that I have participated in the ARRL RTTY Roundup contest. It has been a year since I made even a single radio teletype QSO so I had to spend a few hours reconfiguring my station and familiarizing myself with the software and hardware. I have never used FT8 which has become a very popular weak signal digital mode. When FT8 was added to this contest I had concerns that RU would no longer be a RTTY contest but that certainly was not the case this year. I hope that the FT8 mode will become a separate event. The first half of the contest was really fast moving, after 12 hours of running two transceivers I had 1100 QSOs in my log. During the second half my run rates slowed significantly and I even had to search and pounce at times. 80% of my QSOs were with the U.S. and Canada, unfortunately participation outside this area was low, making finding new country multipliers a challenge. 20m and 40m had excellent domestic openings and also good but short openings to Europe. 15m had good openings to the western U.S. but I quickly ran out of stations. I worked a little DX on 15m, surprisingly four loud New Zealand stations called me but I heard no one in the Caribbean or Europe. My station worked perfectly and despite poor propagation this was a fun contest. Thank you for the QSOs, please QSL via WD9DZV.
