BARTG Contests counts to my favorite RTTY contests (see also BARTG 2009 / 2008 participation) and this year I gave me clear target to beat all previous personal records. First day on Saturday 20th March 2010 starting very early in the morning I had some contact with US stations mostly on 7 MHz band.

CQ WPX contests are very challenging world-wide amateur radio competitions. The contest held on 13th-14th Feb.2010 was again interesting with better radiocomm conditions as it was usual during last years.

Broaden openning of 21 MHz band more hours during the day influenced the contest tactics not so much stay on usual 14 MHz band but to go on 'suprising' higher frequencies.

My target was to reach more as 500 contacts with more as 500.000 points total to beat my best result from the last year 2009. Taken into account the contest scoring policy with preferred lower bands here was absolutely necessary to improve performance on 80/40m bands. After exhausting contest hours the result was more as satisfactory - total more as 600 contacts with 724,464 points.
