I participated in the CQWW RTTY 2022 contest / 2022-09-28

Past weekend was the 2022 version of the CQ World Wide RTTY DX Contest and I participated. Not with any preparation: on Saturday after some other tasks I sat behind radio and computer and looked up which set of macros would work for this contest.

But propagation cooperated, especially on the 20 meter band. On Sunday evening after dark I got a nice set of stations in the USA and Canada in the log. I also saw a station from Brunei active but that station never managed to decode my callsign while I tried for a quarter of an hour as this would have been a new country in amateur radio for me.

I made 106 contacts in total: 70 on the 20 meter band and 36 on the 40 meter band.

Preliminary results

The logcheck report is in: 0 errors! 106 contacts, 229 qso points, 9 state/provinces, 15 zones, 50 countries, 74 multipliers makes 16872 final score.
