2007 ARRL RTTY Round-Up

Once again, I went back for another run in ARRL RTTY Round-Up, mostly convinced that it would be difficult to better my 2006 results.  Surprise!  With yet more RTTY contesters active in the contest and propagation reasonably OK, I ended up 24% ahead of 2006 ... and another new world SO HP record after log checking.  733 contacts were logged in the first four hours (190, 193, 172, 178 Qs/hr respectively).  After eleven hours P49X was over 300 QSOs ahead of 2006 when I took my first break.  Sunday, however, netted nearly the same number of QSOs as the prior year.  I did force myself to run on 10 meters for 20 minutes and got 16 contacts with five of them working P49X on all bands, 10-80.  I look forward to future years when some serious runs can be had on 10 meters.  More details are in a sidebar article to the ARRL web report for the 2007 RTTY Round-Up.
