01/10/2006 | K9MQ I was really looking forward to participating in this year's RTTY RU. Last years RU was the first one that I operated in. I made a lot of improvements with antennas, even though I am in a antenna restricted area. I felt conditions were somewhat better on Sunday than on Saturday. Most contacts that I made were on 40 and 80M, and a small amount on 20 and 15M. I heard very little activity from the states surrounding Indiana. Eventually I was able to work the surronding states, but was not able to work anyone inside my own state of Indiana. I spent about eight hours operating. The N1MM Logger with MMTTY Engine did a great job logging for me. Can't wait for next years RU. Mark, K9MQ
