Comments:

Not very happy with my performance. Lost a lot due to not knowing
my station good enough. First time on SSB with the K3′s and I learn a bit during the weekend, but too late to save day one. Day one was not great propagation wise either so…

Anyway, thanks for all the contacts!

Yes! Sunspot minimum is back 
After almost a year with sunspots 10 meter is finally back to 
normal again....

Joke aside, I had a great time once again in the RDXC 
Last effort was in 2009 and I was aiming for the Norwegian record
but it was impossible because of the active geomagnetic field
combined with the low solar flux.

Hope to be back next year!

What a great contest this is

30 hours of non stop action and no worries about chasing or getting that mult
on another band… Just run stations like h….. and the mults will come your
way!

When things did slow down on sunday i took a sweep on the bands and worked as
many as i could of those yellow calls in the bandmap

After several years now running SO2R on RTTY I am still improving my operator
skills and that’s what it’s all about for me

I still would like to see this as a 36 hour effort like in WPX CW and SSB !!

CQ WW RTTY WPX Contest 2012 is held on the weekend 11-12 of February. Single operators are limited to 30 hours operation. They may operate more but only the first 30 hours count for your own score(as far as I understand).
