BARTG RTTY and RDXC

The past weekend was again one with many Contests.
I was active in 2 of them,but due not too much time,didn't get many in my log.

I started with the BARTG RTTY Contest.
This is a 48's hours event,started at 02:00 UTC on Saterday the 21th.I was active mostly on 20 meters and worked a few on 40 meters as well.There wasn't much RTTY above 7050,because of the RDXC Contest.
Still got to work some very nice DXCC's again in this mode.
Got in my log: JA6ZPR,J5UAP,YV5AAX,LT0H,JH7XGN,E21YDP,ZS2EZ,J88DR,YB4IR,9M6XRO and PR7AR.
These are the more exotic callsigns...some you don't get every days i mean :)
Nice to see that the propagation is getting longer,20 meters is longer open as for 1 month ago.
Maybe this is a sign of the Sporadic E season to begin.

In the RDXC i did work 125 stations.For me,digital modes and CW work better,just working with 25 watts.Worked in the RDXC in mixed mode,most in CW.
Nice DXCC's worked are:
JA7DLE,YW4D,6W1SJ,YE1ZAT,VQ9JC and V47NT.

Hope the propagation will be good the next weekend as well,while the CQ WW WPX contest will be taken.Hope to work then as much as last year.

Propagation 16 March

The past weeks the propagation isn't very well.

Sometimes even very bad.But i was very nice suprised to have the big signals yesterday from Asia.I did work Kazu (JH3NGD) , Nobu (JQ2QHQ) and Youn (HL4CBX) and they did have real 5/9+ signals with me.

I also got 5/9+ back from Kasu and just working here with 25watts and 3elm Tribander.

Kasu and Nobu did work both with 1KW and very big monoband antenne's.

Ofcourse this is also some of the reason i had such a big signal.

Also i could work D44TXI (SSB) and D44TXR (RTTY) from the German DX Pedition in Sal Island,Cape Verde (AF-086).

I did work D44TXS already in CW as well,few days ago.

We are all still waiting till Cycle 24 will start and give us some better and longer openings.Now,when there are nice openings on DX,it's mostly for just a short time.

Today i saw that i got PS0F,Fernando de Noronha SA-003,confirmed via LoTW.

Many thanks for this fast reply on LoTW and the new DXCC for me.

Thanks to W9VA and K9PPY for the activation.
