Love this contest! Really enjoyed bouncing between RTTY and
FT8/FT4

I could enjoy the good contest.
Tnx for a fine contest again.

VERRY GOOD CONTEST

Hello
interesting mode because you don't really listen for a signal. No
cw no phone.  Listen to music in the background I guess. Anyhow
it was a lot of fun for the short time.  Will be  back to try
this mode and  contest in the future.

No matter how or how many times it says ASSISTED even though all the boxes are checked NON-ASSSTED. 
I was not assisted.  How do I fix this????

Finally got rig set-up for RTTY.  Got a late start Sunday
afternoon from about 1:30 local until contest end.  Bands seemed
to be oriented toward west coast USA.  Surprised a few EU came
thru on 40m.  40m seemed to be my best band.  Ended up with 13
countires.   I ran the entire time except before exiting a band I
would seep thru fast to pick a few that were running themselves.
Thanks for all the QSO's and glad to work a few of my TCG
compadres in the round-up.  73 Bruce/AC4G

This was my first contest and I had a lot of fun.

As the name says "RTTY Round up"   Standing for Radioteletype FCC
designator 2K80J2B. F1b/F2B.  NOT 60H0J2B (PSK31),  or 20K0F1D
(FT4 or FT8).   Rename the contest or create another one for the
FT8/FT4 crowd.

I thought I'd get some more operating time on Sunday, but a family emergen
cy prevented that. What I had was fun.

I had not really planned to operate in this contest, but when I noticed some FT4 activity above the
FT8 segment I tuned up there and got hooked.  Since I had not setup N1MM+ to operate with WSJT-X (I
have never been able to get that to work reliably anyway) I just used WSJT-X in contest mode.  Since
that did not provide any dupe checking I mostly called CQ, and that worked out extremely well.  All
of the operation was done remotely via my laptop computer as I moved around the house tending to
other chores and watching TV.  All of my contacts were on FT4.  Equipment: K3s and 80m OCFD at 50
feet.  I really think that RTTY and Digital should be separate contests.  There seemed to be less
confusion about when a QSO was complete compared to previous contests, and I hope that the log
checking bears that out.  Hmmmm....I see that when I presented my Cabrillo file to the ARRL robot I
got categorized as ASSISTED, evidently because I used WSJT-X software that decodes multiple
callsigns simultaneously.  Does that mean that every single operator that makes a digital contact
will be classed as ASSISTED?  If so, that is ridiculous.  That luddite ARRL rule should be
rescinded.  Is it impossible to be a single-op unassisted using WSJT-X or any of its clones?  This
will be my last HF digital contest until that silly rule is abolished.  Evidently the same goes for
CW and RTTY Skimmer.  Is ARRL stuck at the 1921 level of technology when the Transatlantic Test was
the pinnacle of amateur accomplishment?

Forgotten just how hard this was! Haven't done any contesting for about a year and only had a few
hours to spare. Fun though and conditions good to NA.

Severe weather stopped me starting the contest, so only had limited
time to operate. Great fun, and good to see so much RTTY activity.
Not really a fan of using FT8 in contests, so only used RTTY.
We had torrential rain, and severe gales, plus the high risk of
thunderstorms.

I just recently started using WSJT-X so since it would create a contest file for the RTTY Roundup I
decided to participate.  I was only running 1 Watt or less, using my ICOM IC-706MK2G and a folded
dipole antenna.  About 3 hours left in the contest I discovered my antenna had high SWR so I
discontinued the contest.

Really enjoyed participating this year.  First time using FT-8 in any kind of a digital contest. 
But I gravitated toward RTTY...just something fun about using radio teletype!

Had not used DM780 for RTTY before and had to try it. worked more
stations than I thought I would. Thanks for the contest.73 K1AUS

K line to 160 inverted L for all bands.   /DL

my first real attempt at a contest.  Having dedicated FT8/FT4 frequencies would have been helpful.

K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. N3UM and
W5MPB did Multi-1 HP Assisted in the 2022 ARRL RTTY RU. We hoped
to beat the 80.5 K score claimed by N3UM and W3GB doing M-1 in
the 2020 ARRL RTTY RU. We were <1% short; 80 K claimed. One more
mult or 5 more Qs would have made it 80.6 K. SFI of 105 gave us
1.2X the mults to offset 0.84X the Qs in 2022 vs 2020. We took
shifts of ~3 hrs BIC. At start 20 M was hot. N3UM ran for 153 Qs
1820-2112Z and 37 St/Pv mults, loud from AL and IL out to CA and
WA, + backscatter to nearby states. W5MPB then ran for 68 of 92
Qs on 40 M 2143-2300Z and 26 Cty mults, our first, plus RI, WV,
and 9 other St/Pv mults. N3UM got 37 Qs on 40 M 0036-0202Z, then
ran for 10 of 15 Qs on 80 M by 0220Z. At 0224Z W5MPB jumped in
and kept the run going for 75 more 80 M Qs, then 17 C&P till
0442Z QRT when 80-M rate died due to Kp=5. We had 392 Qs, 52 St/
Pv mults, and 31 Cty mults. On 20 M from 1243Z N3UM ran for 58
of 113 Qs & 19 EU and NA Cty mults plus ND. W5MPB 1620-1910Z got
41 20-M Qs + EA6, KP2, and KL7. N3UM got 102 20-M Qs 1922-2206Z,
80 of them in 3 runs spaced by clicks on 3 of 8 mults, including
XE, VK, WY, and at 2206Z, YT! On 40 M W5MPB got our last mult at
2215Z, J3, then 47 more 40-M Qs by 2357Z. We missed only DE and
VT St mults, & got 11 VE Pvs. Cty mults were 61% EUs + 16% NAs.

2020 ARRL RTTY Roundup (January)

The 2022 RTTY RU was my second one, and was as much or more fun than the first. Almost achieved WAS,
missing out by never hearing ND or KL7. Also missed working one of the OK stations that I did hear.
Now I'll have to wait until next year to try again.

Experience: Fun time working this contest
BandCondx: Not great but some nice openings on 15, 20 and 40 meters
Total Chair Time: 8 hours 35 minutes
OpTIme ON: 4.6 hours  OFF: 21.6 hours
ScoreCalc: Claimed Score = QSO points X Multipliers
ScoreCalc: 2,888 total pts = 76 qso pts X 38 multipliers

Interesting that so much of the digital action was in the FT4 section of the band.  Didn't hear
nearly as much FT8 in the proposed frequency bands, likely due to the huge number of RTTY stations
on the air (which was nice to hear!)  Overall a great contest, but look forward to the sunspot cycle
hopefully giving us some fun on 10m next year!

I had fun doing this contest.  It was my first in a long time!  I found it difficult to get quality
contacts on FT8 since many were not participating in the RU.  I had the opportunity to ensure my
interoperability between WSTJ, N1MM Logger, etc , etc, was working properly.  Hopefully I'll
participate in many more contests.

Really pleased with the performance of my new fan dipole which added 20 and 10 meter dipoles to the
existing 80/40 trapped dipole. With a resonant antenna on 20 meters I saw first time call returns
from distant stations like USA West Coast and 22 countries. I also tried FT-8 for the first time in
a contest, but found very few CQ calls for ARRL Roundup ('RU'). 1 Mult. = 1.8Q's

The home rig is unchanged, namely, an ICOM 756PRO with a MicroKeyer II for the PC interface.

Part time operation, but full time fun!

First time operating the RTTY Roundup . . . Great Fun!  73 & tnx to all fo
r QSO's, Dennis K6DF

Only missed one state - Delaware - best I have ever done on working the states. I worked the last
state I needed for WAS-RTTY (North Dakota). Hope he does LoTW as been trying to get that state for a
couple of years now and working a few RTTY contest.

For the modest medium pistol station (tribander and 500 watts), operating mixed mode is great. When
rates dried up on RTTY, I switched to FT4 for a while, when that got played out, I went back to
RTTY. Switching back and forth adds variety and fun. Some say RTTY RU should be RTTY only. That is
OK with me as long as ARRL creates a mixed digital mode contest, RTTY and FT together, somewhere on
the contesting calendar. RTTY RU has shown that mixed operation is viable and legitimate style of
operation, preferred by over 200 hams last year.

In this edition of the contest, FT4 seems to have gained popularity at the expense of FT8. Maybe
hams are starting to warm up to FT4 as a contest mode?  -- Jim

Just operated the last few hours Sunday.
No Cqing just seek and squeak with 5 watts
to multi-band dipoles up 30 feet. Managed
to work a few DX stations. Lots of fun. I
remember back in the day using my Vic-20
and Kantronics interface. Much different
nowadays. Old timers remember ryryryryry
before each contact

Great contest lots of stations on the air.  I managed to get a
couple of local hams to also operate the contest from home and
guided them into RTTY configurations so they could operate RTTY
for the first time.  Good conditions 15M was good both days.
Where or where are the VE provinces  When is NU province ever on
the air

Hmmm, was it just me or was 20 meters asleep this weekend. I worked more EU on 40 meters than I did
on 20. Otherwise this was my first major contest using N1MM and I loved it.

Nice job N1MM team!

Ernie, K8RCT

FT4 on 20 proved that the mode was popular but it was so crowded that it was
hard to get Q's confirmed until I only answered stations that were -10 or
better. 15 was fun, even with the modest antenna set up here. Planned on a 100+
Q's but the bands were in such good shape ended up over 500 Q's.

Had fun making many more FT4 Qso's than expected. For future years I recommend the ARRL list unique
FT4 RU frequencies in the RTTY RU Rules as there's great  confusion when using the standard FT4
frequencies due to the completely different exchange. 73, Dick- K9OM

Great first experience.  Alrradynthinking of ways to improve for next year

Xiegu G90 @ 20W

this was my first time ever using rtty and once i got the hang of it,
i was hooked! had a lot of fun , even with just 20w and a compromised
antenna.

GOOD BAND CONDITIONS MAKE FOR HAPPY CONTEST!

First time using RTTY!

Got the 7300 last year and found this rig could do FSK. I've
normally run AFSK and had to fiddle with the audio to make it
right and then the alignment of the frequency and all. Wow, this
made for ease. Started out with just one cable connection along
with Win4IcomSuite then somewhere in the mix, the rig wouldn't
transmit. Right smack in the middle, shifted to the two cable
concept but it was a learning curve and lost a lot of time, along
with some other stuff that pulled me away, hard to focus on the
problem. Finally, got the rig settings right, com ports right and
then was back up and running. Tried 10 for a few but was only
hearing California stations. 15 was busy and 20 was just
absolutely busting. Did make some contacts across all of the
bands. Fun contest. Settings saved for the next RTTY
contest so I won't have an issue next time, except for the
uninvited guest Murphy. 73, stay safe.

I was limited to the use of end fed wire antennas but had a lot of fun doing the event. A 32ft end
fed wire for 20 and 15 meters. A 130ft end fed wire for 80 and 40 meters. For RTTY, I used FLDIGI
and WSJT-X for FT8. Bands were 80, 40, 20 and 15 meters. 15 meters was dead for me other then one
contact which was a good one (VO2AC - LB). Most of my contacts were in continental US as I was not
receiving DX stations. I ran 50 watts using an ICOM 756 Pro II with SignaLink USB interface. When
the FT8 contacts dried up for the band, I switched over to RTTY. All in all, I had a great time
making contacts.
Bill (KD0JHW) - Southeast Iowa

Great contest. Worked it from the car inside a State Park running a mobile setup.

very p-t effort this year.

Due to a setup mistake on my part, several inital contacts were completed but not logged.  Problem
was corrected and I proceeding to make contacts but am submitting this as a Checklog to avoid
creating problems for those I have failed to properly log.  My appologies!

Enjoyed the RU. I didn't work as many stations as last year but overall, I still had a good time.

Nothing says passion about contesting more than working outside in 17 F. weather for a few hours
prior to the contest in order to get the loop antenna off the ground and back into the trees. This
is the second time in a month that high winds have brought down my loop antenna.

All contacts were made using RTTY

46 qsos * 24 multipliers = 1104 pts

Sadly I never saw WY, ND or WV on the bands FT4/FT8

Love this contest while using FT4 and FT8.  I'd love to see ARRL do individual contests for the two
modes so participation is focused on each mode and not spread between RTTY, PSK, FT4, FT8 and the
other digital modes.

This was my first RTTY contest and I had a ball!!  Thanks for the fun ! KG5STP

Thanks for holding the contest!

SINGLE OPERATOR- LOW POWER -ALLMOST ALL RTTY
AFTER I REALIZED THERE WAS A PSK FEST CONTEST GOING ON
AT THE SAME TIME / ENJOYED THIS RTTY CONTEST
LEARNED ALOT ABOUT CONTESTING AND RTTY AS WELL.

This is a mixed mode entry. My first entry was mistakenly DIGI only.

ft4 & ft8 don't belong in a rtty contest.

Testing out the station for the new solar cycle.

Had a great time even though band conditions here in Alaska were not that great. This was my first
ever RTTY Roundup, and I think I was most thrilled that I was able to get N1MM working with WSJTX
and FLDIGI,haha.

RTTY keeps the airwaves safe for non-FT8 waveforms.

I have a small rig, but a long antenna.

I HAD ONE DUPE.
UNTIL NOW I'VE ONLY USED RTTY A FEW TIMES.
I WAS VERY SURPRISED HOW EASY IT WAS.

I COULD ONLY GET ON 20 AND 40 THIS YEAR BUT WILL BUILD MORE BAND
MODULES FOR THE FUTURE. RAN 5W INTO A 40M DELTA LOOP.

I HAD A BALL!!!

As a new General, this was my first time using RTTY.  The main limitation was not being able to
customize my messages to the call sign of other operators (only used 8 pre-programmed messages, via
ICOM 7300), but it worked out!

I have submitted what I copied over the air, which was NL.

Enjoyed the TEST but getting a little old stay to in the chair for the entire contest. Only RTTY for
me. Like the pace of RTTY verses FT8/FT4 which is to slow and to garbled up on the screen. 

Don't know why FT8 was introduced in the first place since this is called the RTTY Roundup???

Accidentally found a contest, stuck around.

fun contest for 100 watt operation

It was a pleasant contest. Everyone were courteous and took their turns without dog-piling on the
station.

My first contest!  I was on FT8 and was called by KA2MGE.  But his exchange was for the contest.  I
messaged him that I did not know how to change WSJT to work the contest.  He messaged back the
instructions and I gave it a try.  

THANKS Gerald Maira, KA2MGE, for the kind assistance.   I had a blast!!!

Had a BLAST this year as always! Nearly doubled last year's Mixed score using RTTY Only this year.

Just an hour or so on Sunday, first time in a long while.

My first RTTY Roundup -- bands were noisy Saturday afternoon/evening
Bands much better Sunday Morning.

I really enjoy RTTY contests but this one was very frustrating
from a software standpoint.  My K3 would randomly jump from AFSK
for FSK and stop sending my messages.  I figured out that I could
manually return the rig to AFSK form the CONFIG menu, but that
meant slow or lost QSOs.
but I had made a concentrated effort to migrate everything and
get it running in pre-contest tests.  I had to move misdirected
files and  change errant paths.  That, however was a false sense
of security.  I had 3 RTTY windows open when the problems
started.
uninstall and reinstall N1MM+ in an attempt to re-establish
missing or bad paths and default locations.  That's when the
virus software blocked installation and I had to hunt down Win
Defender to turn it off.  Still no luck because I had to have
administrator priveleges, but it didn't give ma an option to run
as administrator.  By trial and error, I wnet to the download
folder and move the N1MM installation file into a separate folder
and then  I was able with a right click to run it as an
administrator. It was about this time that I found out that the
N1MM installation help had a special section on Win11 issues.
Read it before trying to run N1MM under Win11, especially if you
used the Windows migration program!
hours Saturday and I knew I would have limited operating time on
Sunday, so I decided to just have a little fun and move on.  So I
did, as the score reflects.

Ran QRP, just ONE HALF WATT to a 20 foot end fed wire.
(Except: On 80 meters, ran a full bone-crushing 5 Watts)
NO COMPUTER Used! All RTTY decoding was performed
using the IC-705 built-in RTTY decoding, and all RTTY
transmitting utilized the IC-705 built-in message macros.
I missed part of the 10m opening, but some signals were
very strong! It was great to see 10 meters open!
Extra Kick: Worked my old Navy pal WA8MCD on 2 bands!
Thanks to all for your patience and the QSOs.
GO ARIZONA OUTLAWS! -73- John N6HI

Propagation was not good here in Alaska.
The bands were very noisy, particularly 20 meters.
Ran into some SWR problems with the beam
and had to use the 43 foot vertical.  It was nice to
see familiar calls on my screen.  73

Great contest thank you. I noticed no FT8 this year all FT4.

Enjoyed this years contest.  No 10 meters for me in the PNW, oh well next year! ( We know how to say
it up here!)  But getting France on 40 mtrs at 0200UTC was the frosting on the cake!  Made my
contest.  This for me was a RTTY only contest, next year I might try the other mode!  And THANKS to
all that worked my station or tried.

RTTY Round Up is always a favorite contest.  This
year was fantastic with over 60% more contacts.

FTdx-101, KT36xa on 10, 15 & 20 m, 40M2L on 40 m, inverted Vee on 80 m

I've never been much of a contester.  Like many others, I do participate in Field Day most years. 
RTTY was a mode that I had never tried before, but I decided to jump right in.  In the course of the
RTTY Roundup weekend, I not only got N1MM+ (with the MMTTY engine) figured out, but I also figured
out how to interface it with my newly acquired radio, the Yaesu FTdx10.  I only made 38 contacts and
I stuck to 20m and 40m.  My tentative score is less than 700, but I had a lot of fun, and I'm
looking forward to the next RTTY contest and next year's RU.

Some thunderstorms in the area kept me off at some prime times.
Was great to be back on the air for RTTYRU, if even with a
compromise antenna. 45 baud RTTY seemed to be much more active
this year than last. I hope that is a good sign for the future
the namesake of this contest. Diddle ON...73 Gene N9TF

I enjoyed 2BSIQ operation a lot (as usually), its much more fun as the synchronization is more
challenging and rates are higher.
Even quite complicated SO2R setup worked most of the time - thanks to OK2ZAW and his QRO.CZ company

In the past this was a fun rtty contest, but now it looks like most of the stations where on FT
modes. Not a lot of stations to work.
Combination of RTTY and FT modes is not a good idea.

Thanks for the nice contest. See you again next year!!

I had attended DIGI mode as FT8 from Turkey

Condx not at is best. Had hard time sometimes to get through, but
enjoyed it.

Excelente experiencia, fue mi primera vez y lo disfrute al maximo. Felicitaciones por el evento

No free time this year, just on on Sunday afternoon. Nice to see
on the screen the usual ones plus some new ones. RTTY is still
alive ! Really more fun and reactivity than FT8.

Had a great time taking part in ARRL RTTY RU on FT4/8.
I was running 50W to my IC-7300.
My antenna was an inv-V fan dipole up 25 feet.
I got off to a late start and got plenty of sleep, hi, hi.
Still a fun contest even with less than 24 hours operating.
My claimed score is adjusted for the 8 DUPES in my log.

Fun contest as always. Propagation was a bit strange on 20 and 40
M but all in all had a great time. Thank you for all the Qs. See
you all in the next one. 73 Serge VA3SB

Well well well! I'm pretty pleased with my final-ish results from this year's RU. This was my first
shot at a playing radio in a contest. I, like others, didn't plan on participating at first, but I
soon found FT4 to be pretty sweet to rack up QSO's for the contest. 

Hopefully next year I'll be around to participate again in RU! It's was great fun.

In memory of Len VE3FJB, who played a huge role in getting me
started in RTTY contesting many years ago.  73 my friend.

Conidtions seemed to be improving over recent years.

testing Flex 6700 Smartlink remote with RTTY and FT4 modes.  Vertical dipole is sufficient to work
NA but no DX.

I had a lot of fun operating this year's RTTY RU. We had a lot of
snow during the Christmas season. Rig used my new FTdx-10.

First time trying FT4 in Contest.

First Time operating ARRL RTTY Roundup. was interesting despite band conditions for FT4 glad to give
out the YT Multiplier.

Had a great time! Lots of signals on all bands except 10m. Equipment worked perfectly, no hiccups.
Flex 6400M/Icom PW-1, Win10 N1MM AFSK, Hex Beam & 80/40 Dipoles. 73

Firm believer that anyone that makes a confirmed contact with a QRP station should receive bonus
multiplier points.  Thanks to everyone who took the time to make a contact!

Used a Icom IC-705 with a "HOA" approved Fan/Folded Dipole hidden in the attic.  Operated off
battery power the entire contest and used approximately 7.83 Ah (not including battery used by the
Microsoft Surface Go 2).

Lots of RTTY activity although it seemed more like a domestic contest.  DX was relatively rare with
the occasional surprise like Grenada (J3) on 40 m.  Where was JA?? Did work one ZL plus KH6 so there
was some propagation to the west.  That said, 10 m was dead on Saturday but very much alive on
Sunday.  The higher solar flux index a week earlier would have made for an awesome contest!  Looking
forward to next year.

I really enjoy operating RTTY and would have liked to have put in a full blown
RTTY only effort this year. Unfortunately I had very limited time available to
operate during this contest. I put in a few hours around other commitments and had
a good time.  Roughly half S&P, other half over a couple of OK runs. Would have liked to 
run SO2R, but didnâ??t have the time to get that set up, and it is a lot harder SO2R on a 
small laptop display (was operating remote to the computer in the shack).

I could have made a lot more QSOs if I ran FT8/FT4 during my limited availability as 
it is a lot easier to SO2R on FT8/FT4 than it is to SO2R on RTTY (RTTY requires more 
operator engagement and timing where FT* does all the interactive bits for you). 

I run FT8/FT4 almost every day as I figure if Iâ??m stuck in front of a computer
I might as well do some radio at the same time.  I wanted to do something different for the 
contest. When conditions are good my RTTY rate exceeds my FT* rate, hoping to SO2R for next
RTTY contest.

Thanks for the contacts and fun on the radio. Thanks to the ARRL
for sponsoring the contest. 73 - Dan, W1QK

SO MANY DUPES ON DIGI. PEEPS USING WSJT-X HAVE NO DUPE WARNING. K1JT SHOULD ADD THAT FEATURE! JT
ALERT HELPS BUT NO DUPE WARNING.

First licensed in July 2019

still using the raingutter antenna. Was please to work 13
countries in EU with 90 watts on 40 meterw. First day was great,
2nd day had printing problems

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to put this comment; or if it even matters but for
full disclosure.

On the second day (9th) at the beginning of operations at my station [09-JAN-22 19:18 UTC] I failed
to notice that the logging program was NOT tracking the freq/band that I was on.

I had to go back later and use my best recollection to remember which ones were on 20 meters and
which were on 40 meters.

So if there are any BROKEN CALLS near there, that's what happened...

Alan, W4WMM

Sent the QSO with my name Randy, signal report, and state locaton
- VA.

Lots of fun! Thanks for the QSOs and 73, Ron (W8RU).

Band conditions were reasonable... generally could work what I copied. 

Stealth Butternut mounted on pool cage. 350-400 watts HOA restricted - the price we pay to live in
paradise.

It was fun to watch contest on  On-Line Scoreboard..

I've been licensed since 1976 and this is my first contest. It was
great fun and very challenging. Have lots to learn!

Limited time to work the contest.

Zucotti Manicotti and his band of deviants.

Excellent event that exposes hams to the intricacies and fun of RTTY.

This was another WQ6X portable operation from W7AYT's QTH in Concord.
I began this year with a newly installed FT-2000 radio at this location.
We FINALLY have a real Solar Flux Index (SFI) - around 103.
Unfortunately,the Space-WX took a DIVE on Saturday evening.
The purpose of this weekend was not necessarily to post a
high score but to test the new radio with the current
antenna installation.  The FT-2000 took my FT-1000mp
operation to the next level.

TS850S and a dipole

Building go-boxes for EMCOMM lately.  Decided to use one for the
contest to really wring it out for cooling etc.

Glad to be able to participate in the ARRL DX Contest RTTY. I wish you success in this activity..GL
