I participated ARRL RTTY Round-UP as the first DX contest of 2011 last weekend.
I operated at home and finished all 8 QSOs... QSO entities are JA, UN VK and VR2. I couldn't get W and VE...
I used YAESU FT-450M and fishing rod vertical antenna for 40m and dipole for 15m on the balcony. It is very hard to enjoy RTTY DXing with these facilities.
I couldn't establish good result in this contest but I'm happy to have QSOs with overseas station at home in winter season.

Croatian CW Contest and Russian RAEM CW Contest Participation
I participated two small DX Contest on this December--Croatian CW Contest on Dec. 18 and 19 and Russian RAEM CW Contest on Dec. 26. I enjoyed both contests at home in Amagasaki city, Hyogo, Japan.
I had only 8 QSOs in Croatian CW Contest. Acquired entities are BY,UN,UA,UA0,LY. I couldn't get 9A though we could hear signals from 9A.
And I had 28 QSOs in Russian RAEM CW Contest. Acquired entities are UA,UA0,UN,JA. I had difficulty in sending long long contest number--599+001+North Lat.and East Lat. I was repeated many times to give numbers. Contest rule says that we will be disqualified if there are more 2% miscopies of all QSO. I have possibility to be dropped of this contest...
In this season High band condition gets worse in Japan and it is very hard to have QSOs with DX stations with my poor facilities. But I'm very happy to have the opportunity of QSOs at home.

LZ DX Contest Participation
I participated the LZ DX Contest Phone between Nov.20 and 21 at home in Amagasaki city, Hyogo, Japan.
My individual result was totally 31 QSOs. I think it will be one of the best result at home because my home facilities are very poor. QSO entities was totally 17 as belows,
AS: JA,BY,BV,UA9,UN (5)
OC: DU(1)
EU: LZ,YU,9A,S5,YO,HA,SP,OE,YL,UA,UR (11)
I used YAESU FT-450M with 50w output, and I used ground plain antennas for 20m and 40m and dipole for 15m band set in the balcony on the 3rd floor of 8-story appartment house. All by CW QSOs, no SSB QSOs.
It seemed that participation of LZ stations is very little. I had difficulty to get LZ multi.
Next biggest contests are CQ WW DX Contest CW on November 27 and 28. I'll participate them as JO3PSJ/3 mobile station.
