2009 CQ WW RTTY Contest

The 2009 CQ Worldwide RTTY Contest was held this past weekend over the 48 hour period from 0000Z 26 September to 2400Z 27 September. The objective of this contest is for amateurs around the world to contact as many other amateurs in as many zones, countries, US states and VE areas (Canadian zones) as possible.  This contest is conducted on the 3.5, 7, 14, 21, and 28 MHz bands. The mode for this contest is the digital mode, RTTY (radio teletype).  As detailed below, most of my contacts (QSOs) were on the 7 and 14 MHz bands.  Due to the current quiet state of the Sun, the higher frequency bands (21 and 28 MHz) were mostly unusable.

My final results for this contest were:

  • Number Contacts (QSOs) : 175
  • 40m (7 MHz) Band QSOs/Pts/Cty/ZN/Sec : 54/88/16/9/21
