This was my first ever CQWW RTTY and the score may be good enough for a new DL record (among others, I guess). I'm thankful to the radio club members of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) allowing me to access their fine station. The new 40m antenna is an improvement over the previous wire dipoles but with high band condx so good it was hard to squeeze in enough time on 40/80! In RTTY there is no way to compensate for not being SO2R. But I didn't want to reconfigure the club station and put up additional antennas at this point, maybe next time. Scanning the RTTY band for multipliers often seemed to take forever. Many times I did not want to give up a nice DX run and this is reflected in my multiplier totals. Thanks for the QSOs, 73, Stefan DL1IAO@contesting.com http://www.dl1iao.com
