Spent a bit of on and off time in the Mexico XE RTTY contest yesterday into today. The contest runs for 24 hours and in between everything else going on yesterday I got on and made some contacts. Made less contacts this year then last year but I probably spent less time at the radio.

Did mostly S&P but called CQ a little on Sat and near the end of the contest on Sunday. It wasn’t very productive but there is just less activity for this one. Not sure if the contest sponsors even match up anything or just take what is submitted and report that. The latter seems to be the case, but I get on to have fun and make contacts to it doesn’t matter to me.

I guess everyone is resting up for the big one next week. I know I’m looking forward to the CQ WPX RTTY contest.

Here’s my score summary:

Time to watch the last football game for the year.
