G3TXF : CQWW RTTY Contest : Sep 2008 : 20m SOSB
Late September sunset (fractionally south of west) over the sea, through the trees during the CQWW RTTY Contest weekend. The 3el 20m beam was wound up at sunset on the Friday evening. A 3-el 20m yagi at 80ft was used for G3TXF's second entry in the CQWW RTTY Contest. This RTTY Contest is growing substantially in popularity and will soon rival its elder SSB and CW brothers.
The top-20 QSO countries are shown in this table with the non-EU totals in bold.

Surprisingly more XEs (9) were worked than G's (8)!
