Hi Guys,
Personally I will use TM3Z in the Single Op. all bands assisted category.
My goal is to operate 44 hours (hope to have rested enough before the
contest).
I think that for someone who has the opportunity to use a beam 2 elts (or
more) on 40m or a four square on 80m or 40m (feel free to ask to a
"performing contest station" not active in this contest even if you don't
know personnaly the operator, you may be surprised) and who's ready to make
at least a 35 hours effort, it is THE ideal year to break a single band
record on 40 or 80 m whether HP or LP.
Choosing the most situable category according to its equipment or its
capacities will make 50% of your final result.
15 and 10m will be surely quite (even with NA on 15m) but keep an eye on
these bands, a good opening is still possible (keep a "psk reporter" window
always open to check level of FT8 reports on 10m :
https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html , selecting ALL or RTTY mode reports
must be used only by assisted categories...)
15 m can produce West NA opening at 20-21.00z right now 😉
Hartmut, I think (or hope) that RTTY operators are still there for the
contests and it's also possible that we'll have more operators now because
many more people have now interfaced their tranceiver for FT8 so they are
now able to do RTTY (at least during event such as CQWW) 😉 let's hope...
PS : if some of you are in FT8, WSJT-X or similar mailing lists, promote
CQ WW RTTY, it's an opportunity to operators who have newly interfaced
their tranceiver for this new mode to discover how easy, funny and quick it
is to do RTTY QSO.
So good luck to each of you and CU in the contest
