CQ WW DX RTTY 2021

This year we decided to participate the CQ WW DX RTTY Contest in Mult-Single Category. The main reason was to test new antennas, new equipment and new station setup. To be prepared for the CQ WW DX CW in November.

In the meantime a lot of work was done by Maciek SQ6MS who designed and built many new “boxes” for the station automation. Mirek SP4MPG made a lot of tests with low band antennas. The TX antenna was renowed in big part and a lot of work was done with the RX antennas.

SP4MPG and SQ6MS met three days before the contest and they worked very hard with the station setup.

Other team members (Grzesiek SQ4NR, Jacek SP5OXJ, Tomek SP5UAF) came on Friday. On Saturday evening our team was replenished by Kuba SQ6ILJ.

Besides the contesting we again did a lot of maintenace work. During the day the station was active all the time on high bands while other operators were working outside with the low band antennas.

Again we realized that we had a great team of operators and – first of all – real friends. And again we were supported by Bożena (who is living at the QTH) and her family.

We had some problems with the 80m receiving antennas and also the 10 meters was not ready on Saturday (we were on 10 meters only on Sunday). So we know there is potential to be exploited. We are the more happy for the final result which is listed on the 6th place in Raw Scores in Multi-Op Single-Transmitter High.
