(number) after a placing means how many stations were in that category. e.g. 3rd (27)

🏆 RSGB FT4 Series 2024

27th (121) - UK 100w Restricted

Single Operator, All Bands

Contest Notes: I only managed to take part in 4 sessions, so placing 27th wasn't too bad.

 

WAE RTTY Contest 2024

Single Op, All Bands, Low Power - Unassisted.

Contest Notes: Only a 9 hour entry into this one, as I'd missed contesting over the summer.  Not a bad score considering the time on-air.  Conditons favoured the low bands, and there were a lot of stations on. Mostly ran for the contest, after an initial S+P. No QTC again this  year, but at least was prepared for it, then no one asked !

🏆 RSGB FT4 Series - Contest 5 - (17th June 2024)

11th (43) - UK 100w Restricted - (310 Series points)

Single Operator, All Bands - 100w (85w)

65 QSO -  1,792 points

Contest Notes: After missing last months session because of holidays, back to a lively band on 15m to start, dropping to 80m. Good Mults count but time management could be better to increase these further.

🏆 EU PSK DX Contest - (May 2024)

2nd (6) England, 23rd (35) DX,

Single Operator, All Bands - HP - 50w

54 QSO -  7272 points - Quick entry to test SO2V settings.

Contest Notes: Started off as a Checklog entry, but looked at the Online Contest Scoreboard and had a useful score, so submitted a entry ! Enjoyed playing PSK63 again, but apart from 40m, everything else was quiet. One QSO on 80m, and that was all there was audible ! Intended to try out some settings for SO2V, which worked so that was good too.

61 QSO -  1,170 points

Contest Notes: Good activity, but was hard going at times. Good multipliers but lower QSO numbers than other sessions.

🏆 BARTG RTTY 75 Sprint Contest - (April 2024)

4th (11) England, 21st (53) DX,

Single Operator, All Bands - 100w (85w)

108 QSO -  2,160 points

Contest Notes: A new contest for me, as I had always missed this one. A small configuration change in the MMTTY and 2Tone setup, and GRITTY does not support the 75 Baud rate so was down to two decoders. A fairly slow contest, and heard a couple of US stations but they disappeared before I could call them back, so just the EU stations and not many multipliers either so not going to score well in this contest, but it wasn't very different than usual RTTY contesting.

🏆 PACCDigi Contest - (April 2024)

2nd (2) England, 22nd (33) DX,

Single Operator, All Bands - 100w (85w)

93 QSO -  2,448 points - 6.5 hrs

Contest Notes: Due to solar conditions, the bands were awful for this contest, with very low rates achieved. Whilst I set out to be in this contest all day, after two hours I went off out into the garden due to the lack of stations heard. I periodically ran a few times but nothing much came to the call. Some increase in stations at the end. I did think about moving over to the RTTY and FTx mixed category, but decided to carry on with RTTY Only, and did try out various SO2V operating procedures and refined my custom keyboard shortcut options. First time entering this contest, but will try to do this again next year, with hopefully better conditions !

Well, I entered the wrong section, and not the RTTY one so had a poor placing. If I had entered the RTTY as planned, I would have been 3rd !  Oooops !

🏆 EA RTTY Contest - (April 2024)

2nd (11) England, 15th (375) DX,

Single Operator, All Bands - 100w

429 QSO - 112,833 points

Contest Notes: Bands were very noisy and didn't really recover all contest. Some busy periods with some long slow periods too, but the DX was there too if you could find them, Mostly by accident at this station ! Multipliers started slowly too, but soon started to increase. DX into Indonesia, US, Canada, St Helena, Namibia. Couldn't get a good Run in this contest, and some fairly robust jumping on Run Freqs from HP stations too. First time I've been keyed over to make me move as well (Spoiler, didn't work). 

More SO2V operating, but using VFO B for S+P as duelling CQ's didn't return much increase in rate vs effort. Keys now selected for the keypad now as I identified the shortcuts most used in this contest as the ones to try first. A couple of them will need some delay times added (The FT-2000 when switching VFO's, and with both on the Internal ATU, needs 2 seconds else the radio TX's, but the CPU locks it out. MMTTY thinks it is transmitting and it all falls over in a heap !)

🏆 CQ WW WPX Phone Contest - (March 2024)

18th (128) England, 302nd (1575) Europe, 586th (3367) World. - 6th in Classic.

Single Operator, All Bands - 100w

341 QSO - 161,694 points

Contest Notes: Although I intended to enter this contest for the Classic and the full SOAB LP section, but a migraine decided to affect my operating, so only 14 hours mostly at the evening sessions. Some good DX into China, US and Caribbean, with some new WPX entities for the log. Disappointed to not enter this properly, but these things happen. Station worked well, as expected but as the reduced operating time meant that I only worked 3 bands. Only operated SO1V, as I'm not setup for SSB SO2V just yet and only used the OCFD, the 6BTV wasn't giving anything extra and there was no need to use the Bevflex-4.

Not expecting to place well in this contest but did enjoy the operating time that I did have !

🏆 RSGB FT4 Series - Contest 2 - (18th March 2024)

9th (51) - UK 100w Restricted - (364 Series points)

100w Single Operator, Low Power, All Bands - 85w output

60 QSO's,  1,860 Points

Golden Log

Contest Notes: This sprint contest is an interesting one, as this session saw my station back to having the OCFD available, and a noted increase in DX stations on the bands for the contest. After an initial flurry of activity, things slow up about an hour in, and I need to find the answer to having a better run, or S+P session. With a 90 min session, and QSO's taking 60 sec (4 x 15 sec), finding 90 QSO's with one VFO is pretty much all I can do, but I'm currently 30 short !  Fun session though, for something different.

🏆 BARTG HF RTTY Contest - (March 2024)

16th (349) World, 15th (231) Europe, 2nd (23) England

Single Operator, All Bands - 100w (SOAB100)

602 QSO - 603,576 points (4 Dupes)

Contest Notes: The second session with SO2V configured, and although with the band change timer, this means that it's Run and S+P in the same band, but that brought a good increase in QSO totals, that I would not have got without the second VFO. The shortcomings of SO2V, with loss of audio on TX can be managed, but shows what more can be done with SO2R.

Good session, and managed time around at home commitments, with a later start but think I managed the time well considering that. Station worked well again, but SO2V brings with it a larger mental load, therefore was tired after ! I have identified a number of operating improvements, which is to be expected being new to this style, and have some equipment identified.
