many times to work several stations. Thanks for all their patience.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bedingungen in Norddeutschland ziemlich mies. Die wenigen gehörten
und gearbeiteten Staionen meldeten schon früh weit über 100 getätigte
Verbindungen. Deshalb das Log soll auch nur zum Vergleich. Die wenigen
Stunden an der Staion haben trotz allem Spaß gemacht.

----------------------------------------------------------------
F5RD:
I appreciated this contest. Working mainly Saturday evening and Sunday

----------------------------------------------------------------
F6IRF:
Very poor condx all weekend :10m has been limited to a short E's openings and
15m has remained extremely quiet, with the exception of 9M2/G4ZFE, AP2IA and a
few JA/HL Sunday morning.
With nearly 50% of DX-stations, 20m has been once again the best band especialy
during the night, activity on 40 and 80 suffering from this. The good weekend
surprises: FO5PS, KH6GMP on 20, ZL2AMI, ZL4PW and again 9M2/G4ZFE on 40M. Other
weekend DX's A71EM, BX4AN, BX4AF, ET3TK, VR2UW, VR2BG, HS0ZDZ, TK/F6AUS...
(surprisingly did not find GU0SUP!). Congratulations to the German hams for the
activity (77qso's) coming just ahead of the W's (68 qso's) in my log. Well,
with a sunspot number between 30 and 40, it is finaly not that bad !

----------------------------------------------------------------

on 21.

----------------------------------------------------------------
G3OOK:
Poor band condx during the contest. Nothing at all heard on 10m.
Limited openings on 15m and a high static level on 40/80m!
Despite all this I enjoyed it and hope to take part next year!

----------------------------------------------------------------
G4EMT:
THANKS FOR THE NICE CONTEST

----------------------------------------------------------------
G4OGB:
Only my second attempt on Data, can you tell?
Claimed score allows for missing Ser for qso #1, and
qso (around #70?) where I thought I had worked him, only
to realize later that he was working DG4OGL!!

----------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------
K4GMH:
Thanks to the sponsor of the Contest for continuing the contest
for the second year. This was the first contest from the K4GMH QTH
since the tower and all the antennas were destroyed by Hurricane
Isabel last September. Unfortunately, the only antenna that has
been installed, so far, is the 2 element 40 meter yagi at the top
of the new tower.
Did try and use the antenna on 15 meters, but it isn't very
efficient on 15 meters and only able to work one station.
The antenna still needs final tuning, but did perform quite well.
Couple of surprises were being called by 4X/OK1FIA/P,
VK6HD at 2347Z and a short time later ET3TK.
40 meters on this end was very noisy.
Thanks to all, especially many of the European stations, that were
asked and were kind enough to provider multiple repeats.
Hopefully, additional antennas will be on the tower before the
next contest.

----------------------------------------------------------------
K5PAX:
LOTS OF FUN -- CU NEXT YEAR!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Pretty good conditions considering. Great fun.

ZL2AMI:
This was a very lonely contest from the South Pacific,there were
many hours with no contacts. The activity from the US and Japan was
low and I normally rely on these countries to keep the rates
ticking over. I just had to wait for Europe to return. Only 40m and
20m worked, 15m a few contacts and 10m quite dead.

DL-DX RTTY CONTEST 2004

CONTEST MANAGERS REPORT

This was the second run of the DL-DX RTTY CONTEST. We are pleased to report a considerable increase in participation. 336 logs were received. Thanks again to all participants for their continued interest in our contest.
The comments received again show that the 6 hour categories and those for use of limited aerials are especially appealing to many RTTY contesters. But again many entrants (30) did not take advantage of the 6 hour categories despite their operating times being less than 6 hours, while 21 of the entries for categories B and D clearly exceeded the 6 hour limit.

Propagation conditions were as expected for this time of the solar cycle. Yet a good amount of fine DX was available and workable. 9M2/G4ZFE, 9V1UV, A71EM, BX4AF, DU/G4DUM, ET3TK, FO5PS, HS0ZDZ, KH6GMP, NP4BM, OD5PL, VK3DBQ, VK6HD, VR2BG, XV1X and ZL2AMI/ZL2BR are just some examples. About 35% of all QSOs were from stations outside of Europe. The majority of these were made by North-American stations, followed by Asia and South America. Detailed graphical statistics can be viewed at URL: http://www.drcg.de/.

We are very pleased to report that at least 127 DL stations took part in the contest. Other major contributions came from (at least) 190 USA stations, 66 UA/UA9, 61 JA, 61 G/GI/GM/GU/GW, 55 I, 36 SP, 25 VE and 20 UR stations.
A total of 80 countries were active in the contest. Except for Antarctica all continents were worked.

The 336 stations submitting logs entered the 5 different categories as follows:

CATEGORY-A=104 CATEGORY-B=78 CATEGORY-C=55 CATEGORY-D=77 CATEGORY-E=6.
16 logs were received as checklogs. 174 stations used high power and 162 low power. Club competition was a new feature added to the contest.

While the majority of logs were in correct Cabrillo format there were also many logs that gave us a variety of problems. Callsigns were missing in emails and even logs. At least two stations sent us ADIF resp. Writelog .WL files. Many of the non-Cabrillo logs were using strange date formats requiring a lot of manual editing before they could be converted into Cabrillo format. Some people sent logs sorted by bands instead of time.
There was still a problem with the correct entry category. By all means read the rules and please follow the advice given many times. Several Cabrillo logs also needed manual editing by the log checkers. RST, both sent and received was missing, columns were not in the right place or order.

The 336 logs received show a total of 895 different callsigns (+27%) and of 53924 QSOs (+31%). 36500 QSOs representing 67.7% of the total were electronically cross checked.
Overall an average error rate of 6.61% was found. There were:

- 1249 wrong exchange errors (+43%) (serial numbers do not match)
- 1145 unique callsign errors(+42%) (calls appearing in less than 3 logs)
- 631 not-in-log errors (+94%) !!
- 196 duplicate QSO errors (+66%)
- 71 wrong band errors (time and serial numbers match but not bands)

resulting in a reduction of claimed scores. This amount of errors unfortunately shows a dramatic increase compared to the 2003 values. The contest organizers feel compelled to consider changes to the rules.

Certificates will be sent to the first ten stations in each category. The results listings and this report will be sent to all entrants by email.

In 2005 the DL-DX RTTY Contest will be held again on the first full weekend of July, - 2 July 1100 UTC to 3 July 1059 UTC. The rules shall be published on the DRCGs webpage http://www.drcg.de/.

This report is compiled for the information of all stations who took part in the DL-DX RTTY contest whether they sent in a log or not. It can be used or distributed in any way, such as magazine, Internet pages etc. as long as credit is given to "DL-DX RTTY Contest Group".

73 to all of you, thanks for participating and cuagn in 2005.

Goetz, DJ3IW for the DL-DX RTTY Contest Group.

CONTEST MANAGERS REPORT (german version)

DL-DX RTTY CONTEST GROUP (DRCG)

DL-DX RTTY CONTEST 2004

KONTEST MANAGER BERICHT

Der DL-DX RTTY Kontest wurde jetzt zum zweiten mal am Wochenende des 3. und 4. Juli 2004 mit einer deutlich gestiegenen Teilnehmerzahl durchgeführt. 336 Logs wurden eingereicht. Unser Dank geht an alle Teilnehmer für ihr anhaltendes Interesse an unserem Kontest. Die Kommentare zeigen wiederum, daß die 6 Stunden Kategorien und die für "kleine" Antennen für viele RTTY Kontester besonders anziehend sind. Allerdings gab es wieder viele Teilnehmer (30), die die 6 Stunden Kategorien nicht zu ihrem Vorteil nutzten, obwohl ihre Betriebszeit kleiner als 6 Stunden war. Andererseits überschritten 21 Teilnehmer in den Klassen B und D die 6 Stundengrenze.

Die Ausbreitungsbedingungen ensprachen dem Zeitraum im absteigenen Bereich des Sonnenfleckenzyklus. Trotzdem waren wieder eine ganze Reihe interessante DX-Stationen aktiv und arbeitbar. 9M2/G4ZFE, 9V1UV, A71EM, BX4AF, DU/G4DUM, ET3TK, FO5PS, HS0ZDZ, KH6GMP, NP4BM, OD5PL, VK3DBQ, VK6HD, VR2BG, XY1X und ZL2AMI/ZL2BR sind nur ein paar Beispiele.
Ungefähr 35% aller QSOs wurden von Stationen außerhalb Europas getätigt. Die Mehrzahl davon wurden von nordamerikanischen Stationen, gefolgt von Asien und Südamerika gefahren. Detaillierte graphische Statistiken sind vom URL: http://www.dl-dx.de abrufbar.

Wir freuen uns, die Beteiligung von mindestens 127 DL Stationen am Kontest melden zu können. Weitere größere Beiträge kamen von (wieder mindestens) 190 W-, 66 UA/UA9-, 61 JA-, 61 G/GI/GM/GU/GW-, 55 I-, 36 SP-, 25 VE- und 20 UR-Stationen.
Insgesamt waren 80 DXCC Länder im Kontest aktiv. Mit Ausnahme der Antarktis konnten alle Kontinente gearbeitet werden.

Die 336 Stationen, die ein Log einsandten verteilten sich auf die 5 verschiedenen Kategorien wie folgt:

Kategorie A=104 Kategorie B=78 Kategorie C=55 Kategorie D=77 Kategorie E=6.
16 Checklogs wurden eingesandt. 174 Stationen benutzten "high power" und 162 "low power". Als Neuheit wurde eine Klubwertung durchgeführt.

Während die Mehrzahl der Logs im korrekten Cabrilloformat war, gab es auch viele Logs, die uns diverse Probleme bereiteten. Rufzeichen fehlten sowohl in den emails und sogar in den Logs. Mindestens zwei Stationen sandten uns ADIF bzw. Writelog .WL Dateien. Viele der Nicht-Cabrillo Logs benutzten ungewöhnliche Datumsformate, die erhebliche manuelle Bearbeitung erforderten,
ehe sie ins Cabrillo Format umgewandelt werden konnten. Einige Leute sandten Logs, die anstatt nach Zeit nach Bändern sortiert waren. Die korrekte Angabe der Teilnahmekategorie ist offensichtlich immer noch ein größeres Problem für viele Stationen. Bitte unbedingt die Regeln lesen und den immer wieder gegebenen Hinweisen dazu folgen! Einige Cabrillologs mußten manuell von den Aus-
wertern überarbeitet werden. RSTs, sowohl gesendet, wie auch empfangen fehlten, Spalten war nicht in der richtigen Reihenfolge oder an der richtigen Stelle.

Die 336 Logs enthielten insgesamt 895 verschiedene Rufzeichen (+27%) und 53924 QSOs (+31%). 36500 QSOs, entsprechend 67,7% der Gesamtzahl wurden elektronisch überprüft.
Insgesamt ergab sich eine durchschnittliche Fehlerrate von 6,61%.
Es gab:

- 1249 wrong exchange Fehler (+43%) (Seriennummern stimmen nicht überein)
- 1145 unique Callsign Fehler (+42%) (Call taucht maximal in 1-2 Logs auf)
- 631 not-in log Fehler (+94%) !!
- 196 Doppelqso Fehler (+66%)
- 71 wrong band Fehler (Zeit und Seriennummer stimmen überein, aber NICHT das Band)

die zu einer Reduzierung der erlangten Punktzahl führten. Leider ist dies ein erheblicher Anstieg der Fehlerrate im Vergleich zu 2003.
Die Veranstalter werden hieraus Konsequenzen ziehen.

Teilnahmezertifikate werden den ersten Zehn in jeder Kategorie zugeschickt werden. Die Ergebnisliste und dieser Bericht wird allen Teilnehmern per email zugehen.

2005 wird der DL-DX RTTY Kontest wieder am ersten, vollen Juliwochenende - 2. Juli 1100 UTC bis 3. Juli 1059 UTC abgehalten. Die Regeln werden auf der Webseite der DRCG http://www.drcg.de veröffentlicht.

Dieser Bericht wurde zur Information aller Stationen, die am DL-DX RTTY Kontest teilnahmen geschrieben. Er kann auf beliebige Art und Weise z.B. in Zeitschriften oder im Internet verteilt werden, jedoch nur mit dem Hinweis auf die Autoren der "DL-DX RTTY Contest Group". Für die deutsche Fassung gilt: Eine Änderung der Rechtschreibung wird ausdrücklich untersagt.

73 an Alle, Danke für die Teilnahme und AWDS 2005.

Götz, DJ3IW für die DL-DX RTTY Contest Group.
