Worked all Europe RTTY

Last weekend, I took part in the WAE RTTY contest, as I have done for many years now. It’s always fun to take part in this contest, even though my 100 watts of output power is no match for the high-power stations. My very first QSO in the contest was with a station in Australia on 10 meters.

In the meantime, I have also built a new antenna for 40 and 80 meters after the old antenna fell down in the spring and I was unable to transmit on these bands for the entire year. However, there is still room for improvement here. It works quite well on 80 meters, but there are still significant deficits on 40 meters. This is also noticeable in the results:
