    CQWW RTTY this coming weekend.

    Warm up those terminals, kids.

    If the solar flux manages to keep at current levels, 10m should be interesting. I worked Uzbekistan this morning on 10m RTTY. Had to use the amp (I hate doing that), but there was plenty of DX this morning all over the RTTY section of 10m.

    PSK is at 28.120. While the RTTY contest might get that high, I doubt there will be that much butt hurt. ;)

    This might be a golden opportunity to score a RTTY DXCC!

    80, 40 and 20 will be another matter entirely. I can almost hear the howls of derision from where I sit...

    Probably going to be FORCED to do LOTW though. Most RTTY types use electronic logs. I still log on paper and barely can figure out the MMTY program. Just enough to make it work.

    I've got a bunch of other obligations this weekend, but this is one I like so I'll get on and pass out points as I can. Might give the 1500 a run on RTTY just to see how it does.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    Well, 10m has been interesting this morning.

    Started out at 28.066 and finished at 28.150 before I finally switched to 15m. The band was hopping.

    Went down to the shack for a bit this morning, got things set up, then decided that I couldn't be bothered. Probably later this afternoon I'll go jump in for a bit. Don't really want to work too many. I'm coming up on logged QSO #10,000 and I was kind of hoping a friend would be out of the hospital and home so he and I could do that particular QSO.
