In 2017 I entered and won the 15m section of the SCC RTTY Championship and although I wasn’t available for the full 24 hours of the contest this year, I did make a token entry by operating for around four hours on the Sunday morning. The problem was that on the Sunday, conditions had absolutely […]

An unexpected QRP entry into the DMC RTTY 2018 contest
SCC RTTY Championship 2017 – The results
CQ WW RTTY 2017
Looking back at my old contest entries, I noticed that I’d never made a serious entry into CQ WW RTTY on 15m in the past and have always concentrated my efforts on CQ WPX RTTY instead. I’ve won the Single Operator, High Power 15m section four times in the past for stations in England and […]
SCC RTTY Championship 2017
It’s been some considerable time since I put in any serious contest entry and I’ve been looking for the chance to do it for a few weeks. I sorted out my data problems a while ago and have been happily able to operate RTTY, PSK, etc ever since. I’ve been looking for a data contest […]
Returning to data modes after an enforced break
My shack computer is an Apple iMac. For a few years, I’ve operated a lot of data modes and been very successful in data contests. I’ve always enjoyed data modes and in 2012 I operated GO6NHU to celebrate the London 2012 Olympics exclusively using data. Back in 2015, Apple released a new operating system called El Capitan and […]
CQ WPX RTTY 2015
It’s been a while since I made a semi-serious contest entry and I happened to notice a couple of weeks ago that the CQ WPX RTTY contest was coming up. I currently hold the England record for the 15m high power section and so I planned to try and beat that this year. I […]
Part time entry in the EA RTTY contest
I’ve just completed a part time entry in the EA RTTY contest – It runs from 16:00z to 16:00z over the weekend so I did a few hours yesterday evening on 20m and then put the wireless back on again much later in the night and was surprised to work quite a few Ws and […]
The Open Ukrainian RTTY Championship 2012 – High Band
This weekend was the Open Ukrainian RTTY Championship which runs over three parts – The first two are “Low Band” which consists of 160m and 80m and the third part is “High Band” and that’s 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m. I’d managed to misread a contest calendar and had thought that the EA PSK63 contest […]
Days 231, 232 and 233 – RTTY!
There was a Sporadic E opening on 6m on day #231 and so I was pleased to work HA3LI, Ali, IZ5EME, Marco, IW4AOT, Peter, IK4ASR, Davide and IZ3SQW, Mirko using just my homebrew indoor half wave dipole. I then switched over to 40m and spoke to GP3ZPE/P, Paul on Guernsey and then worked a couple […]
