BARTG HF RTTY Contest Participation

I participated BARTG HF RTTY Contest on 19-21 March.

I operated at home in Inami Town, Hyogo, Japan. I used callsign JO3PSJ, /3-less.


My individual result was total 110 QSOs, 57Up from last year's 53 QSOs, even though I joined Russian DX Contest at the same time. I made QRV with plan so that QRV time bacame up to 30 hours with minimum 3 hours rest.

I used log software "Ctestwin" developped by JA station. It was very easy software to use, but I had no choice but change mode from SSB into RTTY manually. It was because mode changes automatically from RTTY into SSB when I made QRV on AFSK-LSB mode. At the same time, the display of contest number changes automatically from "599-001" into "59-001". I'll look for better log software for me...
