Kommentare

5H1HS: nach der IOTA-Aktivierung von Pemba am 11./12.11. war der Contest geanu richtig zum entspannen der CW-geplagten Hand

7N2UQC: I could enjoy the very wonderful contest. Tnx for a fine contest again. Rig:IC-706, ANT:Dipole

8P2K: Conditions not great, but what great ops everywhere. Thanks to all stations for multipliers on many bands

A45WD: A lot of fun in WAE RTTY 2005. There is balance in everything. I have not worked any JA on 14 MHz, but I have KH6ND/KH5 in the log. Talking about Mike, althought the contest name is "Worked All Europe", looking to the times and bands he was QRV, I think his target was to work mainly USA and Japan. It was a nice contest, busy with QTC-s traffic, chasing a lot of nice multipliers and saying a quick hello to the old friends. Another successful WAE contest.. See you in WAEDC 2006! 73, Alex A45WD-YO9HP-YR9P

AC4JI: First time in WAEDC-RTTY. Enjoyed it.

AD6WL: Great contest. Lots of new callsigns. 10m had a nice opening on Saturday.

AI6O: Enclosed is my file for the 2005 WAEDC RTTY contest. Lots of good activity, I just cant work Europe!! hi hi

AI9T: My second time in this contest. Made a couple mistakes with the QTC's at the start of the contest before it finally came back to me. Did OK after that.

AK0A: Fun Contest, but EU station do not want to exchange QTC. Don't know why????

CN8KD: I did not worked enought because of health problems. Many thanks to all participants

CU2JT: Had to stop earlier than planned with a probable disk crash on the computer. Funny noises started to emerge from the hard drive at about 1100 AM on the second day. the operation. Was delighted to find 10M open for a short while and also that my 40m vertical could be tuned and working on 80M (Thanks, MFJ!) E-MAIL: garwik@yahoo.com

DE1NCH: Meine erste Teilnahme am WAEDC. Ich hatte viel Spass. Besonders am Sonntag waren die Bedingungen auf 80 und 40 sehr gut. Nächstes Jahr nehme ich gerne wieder teil.

DE7MTP: hat viel spass gemacht, auf 10m leider nix zu hoeren. ich hoffe, den 2. platz aus dem letzten jahr zu verteidigen. logge in diesem jahr zum ersten mal mit pc, leider habe ich kein programm, dass die eingabe von qtc ermöglicht. habe diese nachtraeglich eingefügt.

DF0DX: Super Contest, müssen aber noch viel üben.

DF5A: Dieses Jahr mit 100 Watt, PA defekt. Schwere Bedingungen auf 40m ! Bis zum nächsten Jahr ! 73 !

DJ3IW: Diesmal nur Punktelieferant.

DK7UM: Dabei sein war alles!

DK9BW: Besten Dank an das Kontestteam für die aufgewandte Mühe!!!

DL1DTL: Hat viel Spass gemacht.

DL3AMA: 1.Contest mit UCXLOG, 2 Pannen beim speichern, darum 2 QSOs am Ende angefügt. Ich habe nachts in Ruhe geschlafen, man wird älter!! Contest hat sehr viel Spass bereitet, 2006 bin ich wieder mit dabei. Ein HOCH meiner 5ZZ-750 PA, mit max.Power in RTTY und noproblem!!

DL3LBP: fine contest in fine conditions

DL5JS: War mein erster WAE in RTTY. Die QTC-Serie 5/10 wurde von mir nicht gesendet Zwei QTCs von VE8GLF und Ein QTC von UA0AGI sind im QRM verloren gegangen.

DL6JZ: The WAEDC RTTY became my favourit

DL7VOG: Recht schwierige Bedingungen und Geburtstagsparty des Enkels machten eine höhere Punktzahl leider unmöglich. Der QTC-Verkehr ist immer wieder ein Vergnügen, auch wenn noch viele OP, die schon seit Jahren teilnehmen, immer noch nichts damit anzufangen wissen. Dieses Mal von zu Hause, nächstes Jahr wieder von unterwegs (HK0GU) - hoffentlich unter besseren DX-Bedingungen. 73 und macht's gut Gerd / DL7VOG

DL8MBS: It took until sunday afternoon that DX-Stations were forced to give some pieces from their QTC-staples even to someone with a little signal. Hey, I don't need a kilowatt to hear well, hi.

DM2GFN: Wenn die abr. falsch ist Bitte als Checklog, möchte mal ein elektronisches Log probieren, schöner Contest aber mit den QTC komme ich nicht zurecht HI

DM5A: Mein erster WAE RTTY - und es hat Spass gemacht. Gute Bedingungen auf den hohen Bändern. Leider hat mir vor allem auf 10m ein Beam gefehlt. Auf 80m kein dx ausser UA9 - schade. Ich denke, das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen, bis zum nächsten Jahr

DR5X: My first WAE RTTY, just for fun! see you 2006 Andy DR5X

G4EMT: THANKS FOR THE NICE CONTEST

GM8OEG: Great contest as ever, but am I the only entrant NOT to have worked his own country on any band!!

GU0SUP: Excellent fun! I really enjoy the added fun of the QTC exchange. There seemed to be many more stations prepared to play with QTC this year, which helped. The bands were also reasonable, which helped.

HA1SN: Radio: TS-130SE Antenna: FD-8 Windom Program: MMVARI beta ver.041

HB9BTI: Das erste Mal mitgemacht und wirklich Spass gehabt. QTC's hatte ich leider noch nicht im Griff.

HG4I: POOR CONDX, NO MORE TIME TO WORK....

HZ1IK: I started the contest with my normal logging software (Logger 32). Then I found out that the new version of N1MM-Logger can handle QTCs but the transferred qsos from Logger32 to N1MM were not recognized by N1MM-Logger for QTC handling. So I continued to use Logger32 and did not do QTCs. After the contest I discovered the little secret how to solve the problem. So next time I will be able to exchange QTCs.

IC8POF: Hope to be in better station condition next year, GL to All.

IK7PTX: Control Log

IT9ORA: Low propagations in the night with US stations 73 to all de Gianni IT9ORA

JM1XCW: This contest was in so good condition, so that I could enjoy the wonderful contest. QTC is very fun.

K0FX: Thanks for DARC for another great contest. Poor condx to Europe

K3IXD/4: The score is not accurate because N1MM Logger doesn't score WAE RTTY correctly. I am getting a lot better at tuning in the RTTY signals, but I had a little trouble with N1MM Logger. N1MM Logger is a great program, however it takes a while to learn it. My biggest problem was that I could not use the "ESM - Enter Send Message" feature and automatically retransmit the serial number. So some of my number are out of sequence when I manually sent an incorrect number. I was surprised to work ZC4LI on 40m for totally new country. Also 7X0RY was a nice new RTTY country. I could not break the KH5 15m pileup on Saturday. I didn't hear them on the other bands. I am using 100w and a SteppIR BiggIR vertical for 40m thru 10m and an inv v at 40 feet on 80m. Thanks to the sponsors for this contest.

K4GMH: Thanks to DARC for putting on the WAEDC RTTY. Good participation even in this part of the Solar Cycle. Computer hard drive crashed earlier in week and did not get the computer working until 1900 Z, 12 November. Still have not gotten all of the other non-amateur radio S/W working. Did get 25 hours in the Contest. Lot of fun.

I pulled up a extra 80m antenna (delta loop at 24m) and a 2 el delta loop for 40m at 24m. Condx where best on saterday, luckely I had send most qtc on the first day. Many USA stations played qtc's game. With thanks to DARC and for the qso 's.

ON6NL: Had again a lot of fun in the contest! Did not plan anything special but hope to get in the Top-10 again this year with my simple setup.

ONL383: Fantastic activity this year but most hams need better ears because vr2xln was calling CQ several times on 7040 at 1845z (Sunday) without any takers! Then I have missed a new multiplier...hi. For info, I find all multipliers by myself, not using any dx alert system here... it is good to say that from time to time! See you next year with (I hope) better condx!

PA0FAW: There were more contests so gave away some points could not work very much some stations exchanged but did not receive my number. Better luck next time There is not a better mode than CW hi

PA0MIR: My first entry in this contest. Had no possibility to copy or send QTC so had to copy on paper and only took a few. Had to put these in the log after which was a real pain in the ass.

W4UK: WIRE DIPOLES ONLY.

W4ZE/3: WAE RTTY is my favorite RTTY contest. The QTC really adds a lot to the challenge and makes it even more fun. With the help of KB3GGP I more than doubled my score from last year. I sure will be glad when the sunspots start to climb again!

W7DPW: Thanks for another Fun contest Conditions Fair Saturday and Poor Sunday.

W7LD: Missed all opportunities for EU qso's Saturday due to other obligations. Went to ham club annual banquet, two church functions, and took XYL shopping for weekly stock up of groceries. Band conditons were not good during my free hours Sunday. Fifteen meters was nearly a bust here in Northwest Washington. I like this contest but I feel I need to do the QTC thing more than once or twice a year to become really proficient at it. Hope to be around to try it again next year. de Jack / W7LD / "Lucky Dog"

YO3JF: The QTC traffic makes this one the most entertaining contest of the year!

Z37M: What a mess ?! First operation with N1MM logger was very disapointed ?! Jumping numbers, sending same number to two diferent stations, louse some QTC's etc... Saturday morning we had several breakings of electricity abt 4 hours. Our goal was to made a beter score than last year and we did it but stell thinking that we may did it much better (:- !! Any way we had nice fun again ! Tnx to WAEDC for nice contest. See you next year, of course ! 73's de Z37M crew !

ZC4LI: THANKS TO ALL CONCERNED IN RUNNING THE CONTEST.

ZL4BR: I'm starting to seriously believe that maybe there are just not enough stations active in this contest for it to warrant being a 36/48 hour show and maybe 24 hours would be long enough. Okay I realise that according to the 2004 results 2532 stations were in 636 logs, but it would also appear from the results, that 70% of them are running low power, which on RTTY probably means 25-50 watts, that together with the fact that a good percentage will be using simple wire or trap vertical antennas on the high bands means that they don't work many non-Eu stations, especially when propagation is poor. So whilst 36/48 hours might suit Eu's, it probably doesn't make a lot sense to non-Eu stations, unless your callsign starts with 7X, H2, ZC or CT3.
