I’m determined to try my 10m delta loop from G/DC-003 tomorrow but I might be a bit early for NA and SA as it won’t be much later than 1230 UTC - but I’ll give it a try anyway. It works at the home QTH but hasn’t had an airing on a summit yet.
Weekends are very busy in SOTA these days. It’s great but it can be rather tieing for the addicted… a couple of hours chasing and I’ve had enough - I need to do something else… So I’ve spent 4 hours and 12 minutes today in the BARTG HF RTTY Contest. A lot more fun than POTA for sure, having chased a handful of Parks during the week for something to do when SOTAWatch was quiet.
The RTTY soundcard experience (I did a fair bit 10-20 years ago, using an AEA PK-232) made a change, and I worked plenty of DX. The latest N1MM+ logger software is brilliant and is so intuitive. It makes operating a RTTY Contest so easy, once you learn the basics, which took me several hours during the week… The joys of retirement.
Only 9 SOTA chases today then, but no harm in giving others more of a chance of a QSO! It will be the same tomorrow, as it’s Mothers Day - a meal out and I intend to spend another 108 minutes in the BARTG sometime and submit my log for the 6 hour unassisted section. The 48 hour contest ends at 01:59 UTC on Monday morning
