Entered my first RTTY contest this weekend. I really had a blast. My overall score hit a new personal record number of QSO's (416) over just 13 hours. My previous best have been in the 300 range and that over a full 48 hour CW contest weekend.

CQ WW CW 2012

It was all search and pounce and most nearly all of it on 10 and 15 meters, with only 32 Q's on 20 meters. I tried 40 and 80 meters but just couldn't be bothered with the QRN.

Sweepstakes

My goal for this year's ARRL CW Sweepstakes was make a "clean sweep". This means working all ARRL and RAC sections, a total of 83. Well, I came close with 78 sections.
