This weekend was the yearly BARTG HF RTTY Contest, and even though propagation is pretty poor there was still plenty of stations to work. This was also the first time I got to try the Yaesu FT-950 properly with the new firmware and it preformed brilliant the DSP and filters made stations transmitting close together decode perfectly.
Best DX was probably being called by a JA on 20m Saturday morning just before lunch and J5 and LT0 in the evening, sadly didn’t manage to work any VK but think that’s bad timing on my part.
Station Equipment: Yaesu FT-950, Radioworks 80m Windom, Signalink USB and MixW.
