This weekend I did a S&P effort in the ARRL RTTY Roundup with the aim of just having some fun, Saturday night 20m was poor only worked a couple of stations then the band faded out so spent a few hours on 40/80m before going to bed I did manage to work 2 NA stations on 40m but took a couple of trys.

On awaking Sunday somewhat later then expected I got a cup of tea and headed back in the shack and worked a good few stations on 20m and a few on 15m I did find stations found it hard to copy me on 15m so guess the 80m windom isn’t up to much on that band.

I stopped operating just after 2pm Sunday and then had a go in the RSGB AFS.

Summary:

	QSOs	DX	States	Provs
80m	7	4	0	0
40m	54	19	2	0
20m	52	16	3	0
15m	17	6	3	1
Total	130	28	5	1

Score: 130*(28+5+1) = 4420 points
