2007 CQWW WPX RTTY

This was my first serious attempt at WPX RTTY from anywhere, let alone Aruba.  I put maximum time on the low bands for the 6-point QSOs with Europe and North America.  The 30-hour limit for single ops didn't leave much time on the high bands and I was finished by noon local time on Sunday.  I wished the SO limit was 36 hours like the CW and phone WPXs.  The final, log-checked official score of 9.98M (3023 QSOs x 723 prefix mults) is 46% over the SO HP world record set in 2006 by I2UIY as P40G from P43P's QTH.

Some of my operating planning, strategy, station setup and tactics are outlined in a a presentation:
