OK DX RTTY

The past weekend i was active in two contests.
Started with the OK DX RTTY and when this was finished i also did some in the 9A CW.

The OK DX is a 24 hours contest.Started at 0:01 UTC on Saturday morning untill 23:59 UTC.I started around 6:30 UTC.
First on 40M,because seemed that the propagation was good on that band.Worked only Europe and at 7:00 UTC i went to 20M.
Here i saw that there was some nice prop to Asia.Worked Asiatic Russia,Kazakhstan,China and a few stations from Japan as well.


At 8:30 UTC i was back on 40M,looking for some new Multi's.Propagation was good into Europe.Big suprise was to work K1SFA and NC4CS around 9 UTC.Normale it's very early in the morning,or late in the evening to work NA on 40M.Little later also K4XD and P40YL where logged.

At 11:00 UTC i went back to 20M again.Mostly Europa now.P40YL worked at 12:05 UTC.After this more NA stations worked.Also nice to work VK6HZ in the contest.Very difficult to work was HQ2T,but after some minutes i was able to work them.
Around 16:00 UTC the band started to close..but still i was able to work a few NA stations.
Also YV5AAX just came up suddenly very strong.Always nice to work him in the contest as well.
Think that Aldo is one of the most active QM's in YV land.


From 17:00 UTC it was only 40M for me to operate.
Until 19:00 i worked only EU,after that i could see and work some NA stations as well.
Last station logged was at 23:45 UTC....
Total logged 291 QSO's.
