It must be the weekend, the bands are just packed with RTTY noises. RTTY is just one of those modes that refuses to go away and thankfully my rig is handy at muting out the warbles so it doesn’t drive you insane.
Contests are really not my thing but they do give you opportunities that might not be available at other times in the calendar. For me it was a new one VP9 or Bermuda in English and a welcome break from revision for my MSc exams
The screenshot above is just a taste of what was taking over the lower portion of the 20m band. I did actually fancy a few PSK-31 QSO’s but glad I ended up giving RTTY a go. probably not the most conversational of the data modes where you actually type in real time but still nice to get the VP9 in the log.
