We were active the last weekend of September 2012 in CQ World Wide RTTY DX Contest using S55CERKNO special event callsign. Soapbox:
Only halftime on the air due qrl obligations. It was funny to see many who did not belive their decoding programs when getting our callsign even with the perfect print. Soon into the contest we figured out that S&P this time would be mission impossible with tons of repeats. First impression is that if your callsign isn’t listed in the databases and because of that your callsign isn’t painted with a variety of beautiful colors then you simply do not exist specially in the RTTY contesting world. Nice to print old friends on wide open bands. S55CERKNO special event callsign is in use to mark the 55th radio club Cerkno foundation anniversary.

Nice callsign to celebrate your club’s 55th anniversary!
Your signal is quite strong here in UK and thanks for QSO.
It was 12 years ago Yoshi and I operated WRTC.
It is time to digitise VHS video “S50E &WRTC2000”. 🙂
Wish your club’s success and see you on another contest!
