TU to all for this great contest.

Well, several technical problems in the first bunch of hours from the start
made uneasy to fully operate the contest as I planned, SO2R on a single PC.
Anyway I was lucky to have had the possibility to resurrect half of the station
and to work quite flawlessly with it. Also much more lucky to solve some other
problems, "where is that damned mouse(!)", that plague any station rebuilt on
the fly. Those small ferrite cores are really the cure to stop quite every lazy
mouse and more.
I was much more lucky to find a bunch of nice peoples that keep up answering
several times on the noisy 40 e 80 meters.
The second night I almost sleep due to this.

Great contest, nice peoples and a lot of lessons to learn: what's better?
I liked a lot to QTC formula and as Don AA5AU last year caught me quite unable
to work out a QTC transfer, this year I have gone back to school before the
WAE.  I have had interesting evenings of simulations, both RX & TX of QTC's. It
was easy as I was also testing new toys and macros for the SO2R. Happy to have
had an examination by Don again and that everything seems to be gone on the
right way. Don would you check please?

This year also I went in a QTC exchange with somebody really in trouble with
QTC's and I was really happy to stop it all  and try with him in another way.
We succeeded! Great thing learning together. So my SO2R HP faults went on as a
gain for another guy at last, that's great for me.

The prop wasn't so good as it was for the WPX RTTY and for the CQWW SSB. It
maybe that the number of operators on air wasn't so large as then. But it was
much better than for the Makrothen, the second half of this last was a
nightmare on highers bands. The end was on 40m, with peoples exchanging QTC
until late.

BTW in the two fields of the I don't like QTC's and I like QTC I will stay in
second one I like a lot this mechanism. Even if the post contest work is more
unpleasant.

TU to the WAEDC staff for the effort to come, now we have to wait almost a year
to have again ours half of the fun.

                      TU ALL & 73 de iw1ayd Salvo

Makrothen RTTY is gone, tomorrow WAEDC RTTY

IT WAS FUN!

Yes, I was operating from the IQ1RY premises as SO2R, first time in my life. As I already stated it was a lot fun.

Now I will try to replicate all this in the WAE, something more heavy to, isn't it?


For sure it is more heavy, 36 Hours as SO2R instead of 24, the need to make the right choices against contest timings, propagation, log grow up and much more things that are to be strategically and tactically to be considered. My elmers already settled me up and loaded of great ideas and suggestion, now it will be my time with some attention, horse powering and my ingenuity.

                                 CU all there in the WAEDC RTTY 2011

From:	Salvatore Irato
Date:	Wed, 3 Aug 2011 13:25:34 +0200

The recent happenings have cluttered my desk a little bit. I was forgetting a serious thing that I would like to share with you all, as several of you where there on air: I know! All my personal thanks and also thanks from the whole IQ1RY team to the A. Volta DX Committee. We have just received the plaque as IQ1RY is the winner in the MO class of the 45th edition of the A. Volta RTTY Contest for the year 2011. Many thanks to the group of the organizers and particularly to I2DMI and IK2LOL. Think about: The 2011 of the Volta contest was played in between May 14th and 15th; The log deadline was on June 30th; Almost 15-18 days after the deadline the results were published on the Volta Contest web; On 29th of July I have had the plaque on hands, made it, shipped it to ours address and moved it to the club facilities. Now it’s standing near the 2010 plaque inside the ARI Bra club premises! What’s better? Nothing, may I say. Now let me say some TU as I have to do. TU I2DMI, from the whole IQ1RY team and particularly from IK1HXN, Mario, and myself. TU also to all of you that with yours time and patience, together with us, made this result, for the second year, possible and enjoyed with us the whole 45th ed. Volta Contest. CU all next year!. Not to forget also the N1MM team of developers that with passion and knowledge made a so big numbers crunching possible in a handful of days. Tu John, K3CT, your personal effort was invaluable. 73 de iw1ayd Salvo _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rtty

List-post:

Hi to all.

Just to read the doc abou and not my personal opinion go there:

http://www.arrl.org/files/file/About%20ARRL/Board%20Meetings/2011%20Second%20MeetingMinutes%281%29.pdf

( Take care of the URL line fragmenting and about the dead space 
representation as %20 )


Abstract from "Minutes of the 2011 Second Meeting - ARRL Board of 
Directors - July 15-16. 2011"

29. On motion of Mr. Fenstermaker, seconded by Mr. Edgar, the following 
resolution was ADOPTED:
WHEREAS the DX Advisory Committee (DXAC) was charged to investigate many 
aspects of the ARRL DX program; and
WHEREAS Amateur Radio technology has advanced to include many variations 
of digital communication; and
WHEREAS the DXAC has recommended changing the DXCC Award category from 
RTTY to Digital or RTTY/Digital or Digital Mixed; and
WHEREAS the Programs & Services Committee (PSC) deliberated this change 
and, along with ARRL staff believe the best revised name for this award 
is Digital DXCC, and
WHEREAS, the ARRL thanks the DXAC for its work on this name change;
Therefore, it is RESOLVED that the ARRL Board accepts the recommendation 
of the PSC to change the title of the RTTY DXCC Award to the DIGITAL 
DXCC Award.


What to say, there are no reasons nor facts by any means about the 
decision taken inside that document, as seen here in the abstract.
The phrase " WHEREAS Amateur Radio technology has advanced to include 
many variations of digital communication ...", tells by itself all. 
Technology have changed a lot since the radio was only used for CW, 
sparking or funk (DL), in the meantime, since than and until quite now, 
there weren't changes in the radio technologies, accordingly to this 
2011 sentence: unbelievable.

So, RTTY was RTTY, Phone was Phone and CW was CW. Now, 2011, the 
silliest and subtle discovery that whatever is not Phone or CW must be 
called Digital, like several appliances we have on hands or at home. So 
CW, a digital mode by default and by any mean, will remain unDigital as 
Phone, they couldn't could not be assimilated. RTTY, that by itself 
haven't any remarkable nor visible soul as Phone o CW, instead will be 
fully assimilated. Yes like the Star Trek saga, "Any resistance will be 
futile ...". In the movie that was a nice characterization, now it is 
only an awful envision at best.

Instead to clearly change anything, i.e. adding a Digital DXCC award - 
yes why not, now we are all assimilated as Digital Borg. Worst, leaving 
out more than half of the world that is already digital since than. The 
sacred soul of CW and its big weapons. Playing  between presence or 
absence of a single signal and coding signs accordingly mean enough 
digital to my, any(?), eyes and my ears, but I would not start a 
religious discussion there. All the old DEC self instruction tapes have 
already made this point strong enough in the NRZ signals chapter, almost 
35 years ago (just the clock/timing recovering may seems to gets out of 
the picture ... fuzzy or not fuzzy). Well done, another foot in the 
grave and nobody know how many of those we have to spare.

Nemo propheta in patria.

Great time. IZ1TNL was also happy  about her first experience, both of
contesting and contesting with her husband. I wouldnâ??t ask she what was more
heavy. Unfortunately the propagation wasnâ??t so good on 15m, 40m and 80m and
at last absent on 10m. As the 20m band, with  five elements at 30m high, was
pretty well workable and open until late we resolved to stay there still
barefoot. The RUN routine went quite flawless but not before almost 21 UTC.
Prior to this time we experienced a lot, really a lot, of EU calls due to the
DMC contest running  together with NAQP. A nightmare. After the first 15
minutes, since the NAQP start, we added a macro with â??HI NAQP NAQP ONLY NA
SORRY DE IW1AYD NAQP CQâ??. Having a â??NAQP CALL CALL CQâ?? in the automated
CQ doesnâ??t solved the question so when any call was thrown in by out of the
NA call signs we fired the added macro and continued the NAQP CQing. So, we
interleaved the new macro with the RUN CQ as one EU call was popping up in
between every two NA calls. This happened quite half of the time for 2 to 3
hours. Sorry for that but we couldnâ??t afford a contest in a contest logging
practice. It was a good practice to keep ourselves calm and motivated to work
on our objectives. We hope not to have been too much rude with all those other
friends. A simple read of the events/contest calendar may have solved this
issue, but no way to make it simple. A more simple look at the NAQP instead of
TEST or even DMC string may have solved at all this issue, but again no way.
A handful of US operators went up with out of contest QSO style answers in
between ours RUN and this was quite interesting also, as itâ??s not so often
that a EU station went so cherished by any US stations. It was a pleasure for
us and clearly a more big pleasure for ours correspondent. So we stopped the
contesting style RUN to have some form of  fast QSOâ??s. Sorry to have been
late for somebody out there. But beading the happiness of somebody about a QSO
with a simple IW1 call is a pleasure. For example having a great time with a
dipole under the roof to make a QSO with EU isnâ??t a every day job, we all
need to remember this. Yes, 20m during the NAQP went very well, for sure.
We struggled on 15m and 80m calling running stations but there was nothing to
do at all. Lately at our local night and until the end of the NAQP tournament
we have had also something interesting to do on 40m. But not so much unluckily.
May be this season marked its hole about.
Having  to train another operator, IZ1TNL my wife, was a pleasant job in the
contest. Sometimes I was tempted to be a little bit rude remarking some points,
but she managed increasingly well the radio that all went  smoothly and we had a
good time practicing with all those needed tasks in a contest. Well the post
contest tasks are another history.
First radio used was a IC-7600, running quite hot but very well performing,
software was N1MM, plenty of macros, all worked pretty well. We have had a
really hot WX here, so it was a pleasure not to have the PAâ??s running nearby.
Instead of those the air conditioner have done a great job, but only for
ourselves, sorry.

What a great time!
This year the DL-DX was this: a great time contesting, full of friends
everywhere, thanks to all for all for the Qâ??s!
 
The major thanks have to be for the several Wâ??s and JAâ??s operators that
tirelessly have had the patience to overcome the not so good prop. They have
had signals small than usual, sometime it was somewhat tricky to decode those
not so well sounding tones. 

The EU wall was quite every time present, at least for the first 12 hours
period, sorry for who didnâ??t come out from any hole to us. 
The 80m and 40m bands didnâ??t worked as for the 2010, more noise and not too
much signals. This was quite expected.

There was a large band signal well placed on almost 21.080 MHz to 21.105 MHz
lately in the morning, radar?. Several of us tried to move out of the mud in
the upper band slice, but it was near the end of contest and not anybody get
it. The already diminishing traffic heavily suffered from this QRM, at least
from this side. That time, plain daylight, the 40m bands still worked for EU
Qâ??s, another load of DL's!

The 10m band went largely opened the first day afternoon. But, as a personal
opinion, not so many have made a trip so long out of a small a bunch of
operators or the skip was quite short also there. Well, better now than years
before.
A lot of I station not so far away from us where listened and contacted on 20m
and 15m, more from ours East than from ours South, some sort of short and
strong skip was also there.

The 7600 again well outperformed the 756PROIII in several aspects, the tricks
of the CAT commands inside the N1MM macros saved our pours fingers and souls
switching filters and the TPF in and out. This last was not so often useful as
it is a somewhat wider than the one on the PROIII, noisy bands made it
sometimes unusable. The 200Hz tricks that Don AA5AU suggested some time ago
helped and give us some relief, but not every time. 
The N1MM in was great as usual. MMTTY greatest features, filters, worked well,
apart from the switching time â?¦ a second MMTTY window with a different filter
setup may help with the more elusive signals already in view. Not anybody get
into the tights filters needed for weak and faded signals. BTW several peoples
seems that doesn't have NET on or never checked out for any RX to TX
difference. It's quite usual and well expected, time to time it could happen.

TNX to the organizers of this every time nice contest, also for all their
efforts that doesn't end now. They will have just from now their time! 

Well, CU all in the 2011 results and than in the 2012 for the DL-DX!

We had a blast, well we have had three (tens) or more blasts, during the whole
Volta contest and some more after since we get an helping hand from K3CT. 
What we have done this time at the Volta RTTY Contest  will be written in our
history for years here at IQ1RY. First of all: we enjoyed a lot any single
contact, thanks to all. The Volta is one of the nicest contest from our
standpoint  and we enjoy participating it from here. Itâ??s a unique RTTY
business and the operators are consciousness and highly motivated about. We
operated, well we hardly tried to operate,  during the event in five OM,  two
in charge for the whole contest operating time and three as welcomed guest
operators. The major part of the contest went on as pure adrenaline, well
sometime it was too much quite to be dead on.
We started putting in front of the operating position the last year plaque we
won as IQ1RY in MULTI ALL BANDS. It was the right memento to all the operators
in charge over time. Things started  smoothly  reaching levels  of pure
enjoyment as the local evening was coming. At night one of the blast was the
20m band fully open, as it was for the ARI International DX contest the week
before.  But something was better than then.  The 40m and 80m bands donâ??t
went abruptly closed, some more appreciable contacts on those band continued
well into ours night time, with the 20m band still working and 15m, well, so
so. 
A big loud software bang. At almost the 04Z AM local, 02 UTC, the logger
reached over 900 QSO and went screaming about a runtime error. We werenâ??t
able to make a workaround to this until 08Z AM. In the meantime we have had
some contacts,  during trying and troubleshooting  the mess. All those
contacts, counting on two hands, where recovered but we furnished some
duplicated numbers. Sorry for that, but we hope that this would not have any
consequence. 
After all we restarted one logger, it was almost the 80th I think,  and gained
the ability to log contacts without problems. That was done with a workaround
and we knew that we will have to do a heavy work in the post-contest to
reassemble the whole contacts data base. We have now done it, successfully we
think.
As the contest ended we asked for any help from the N1MM development team.  Oh
men, to make short a very long story. We had our last series of blasts after
the contest. But we are really lucky as we meet highly motivated and
professional peoples over there. Particularly instrumental for the solution we
had was John K3CT, TU John! You deserve all yours gratefully thanks.
Now Volta operations time for the 2011 is gone and we should be able to send
our results. WOW! What a bunch of blasts! Itâ??s radio, itâ??s ours world.
   CU in contest!

2011 ARRL RTTY Roundup Results
By Jay Townsend, WS7I ws7I@arrl.net

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.  - John Wooden

This year in the Multioperator, Low Power category it was HI3A taking the honors.  The KP2D group
can‟t seem to shake the second-place jitters and took it again this year.  Then it was the Europeans with a bunch of new faces in the Top Ten.  UT7E was third.  OH8KTN was in fourth and IW1QN fifth.
The big change this year was in the Multioperator, High Power category with what is usually an
all-European-dominated group.  Hector, XE2K with just packet assistance won top honors this year.
OL8M operated by Pavel, OK1DRQ was in second place. Closely following Pavel was the IQ1RY group in third place.  They related, “It was a first for us and we went through this learning the magic of the things.”
In the 2011 RTTY Roundup there was one new Continental Record set along with 35 new Country
records.  There was not as much action here as propagation was difficult at times to many parts of
the world.  No doubt next
year will likely be better.

Abbandonato - 150th country reached on LoTW by IW1AYD, TNX to all!

Il DXCC RTTY Award NON esiste più. E' diventato DXCC Digital Award: se lo possono tenere. 
Non viene più perseguito dal sottoscritto. I miei log verranno comunque caricati su LoTW, ma ormai senza più scopo o interesse personale.

Scelta pessama. Impostazione da venditore di fumo della ARRL.

    Salvo


Ovviamente SOLO RTTY o comunque data modes, qualcuno anche in WSJT e PSK31 con il dipolaccio multibanda sotto il tetto e /QRP.
Solo RTTY chiederete? Si, rispondo, perché esiste altro?


Obviusly only RTTY, some also in other data modes, WSJT or PSK31 with only a multiband dipole under the roof and /QRP.
Someone would ask why only RTTY? Yes, I answer, is there something different?


Many TNX to IZ1TNL and her patience and efforts supporting this strange Husband.

So, the Game of the games it's over for this year. 
We went trough all the CQ WW RTTY with more and more happiness and enjoined all
the aspects of the competition, ending so happy that we feel astonished how well
it went for us and ours new M/2 setup. 
Many thanks to everybody we meet on air and to everybody tried to meet us,
sometimes it was really difficult to respond in the worse QRM we watched and
listened, the crowd was terrible time to time. 
Somebody have had so much patience, tnx.

This was the first year for IQ1RY as Multi Operator Two transmitters. 
 
The operators have gained the chairs time by time to increase theirs experience
and move onto the new setup just done for this M/2 roundup in CQWW.

Everybody learned his lesson and we hope to share all of those â??on the jobâ??
training experiences as soon as possible and quite formally, just not to loose
any possible way to improve. 

We have had a simple target: manning this new setup of IQ1RY to make ours best
in the contest and to reach at least 3400 QSOs. 
This was ours target and we, thanks anybody out there helped us to reach this
goal. 
In the meantime we have had some technical problems, all was solved in a hurry:
we had 3 power mains shutdown events, one transceiver abruptly gone, a PA
suddenly switched out, several trains trespassing on the nearby railway.

Last but not least, as we went over 3400 QSOs, we decided to share all together
the deserved, tu IK1RQT prize a bottle of Ferrari brut that was quickly opened
and shared at the end of the airtime. 

At the end we all have had a safe trip to ours homes, still having in the ears
the RTTY sound and all those friend callsigns we meet on air.

We hope to meet again soon will all those OM and others there and on air: just
to have such a big fun as this.

Special congrats to IK4MPG, IT9BLP and DQ4W team.

IQ1RY operators: IK1HXN, IK1SPR, IK1RQT, IZ1LBG, IW1AYD, IW1QN, I1BEP, IW1FNW.

Happy days, we went through the whole WPX enjoying each single contacts and the
whole mess we work together. The prop was really strange and changing on every
hour much more than before. 

Thanks to all contacted us, some more thanks to who have had the patience to
come through some heavy walls that we experienced time to time. Sometime it was
really hard to listen from this side, but all went in a friendly way.

Another thing we recognized is a lot of dupe, may be in the statistical view
are those are well numbered, but the view is that not only from ours site it
was hard to listen.

All went almost flawlessly since the first time through the whole contest, some
episodes, Q’s are quite remarkable, HH in the last five minutes was the candy
over a great and sweet cake.

We were honored by two guest operators, Maurizio IV3ZXQ  and Alberto IV3BSY.
The tradition of IQ1RY, to have guest operators for ant phone or RTTY multiop
contest was continued with such a good guys. Theirs efforts for the whole
contest duration was invaluable. 

The 20m band open until early local night and a somewhat open 10m bands may
seeded a change in tactics and strategy for the next times. We hope that ours
move  in and out the bands during the WPX time went done accordingly to those
changes we are facing. Stations more South than us really appreciated much
better the 10m band.

A fast points and log examination has given us a big pleasure, as we went
working all together and the results compared to ours oldest targets are better
than before. It's nice and well done from ours standpoint.

Chapeau for the big stations we listened and recognized as some of our best
friends worked the WPX from there. We never forget to practice learning from
those.

It was a nice WPX 2011, see you all with IQ1RY in the next contests.
