    RTTY contest - now

    Not working any of it at the moment but doing a bit of monitoring and 20M is hopping...

    I've been playin some, life keeps getting in the way.
    Going to stay up and see what happens in the weee hours.
    I keep looking for you Bill, I know you're out there somewhere. Might even go down to 80m. I really suck on 80, it's my worst performing band. Need more wire up.

    Daayamn! I just got ND...and the OP was a KD4-didn't see that one coming. WhoooHooo!
    Been my last WAS state for two years.
    I'd bet he doesn't QSL :(

    Congrats! You might be surprised on the QSL -- QSL rates among RTTY guys seem to be way above average.

    So I hear one of the nastiest digital signals I've ever heard on the bands toward the end of the contest... I let him know, and he works me. Dude is a contesting machine I tell you!

    I just had to throw in a few rogers.

    Man... maybe I'm just too damn ticky, if somebody said that to me, I'd be QRT quick

    POJ is a regular on RTTY.
    I have heard/seen him on 20 quite a few times.
    He ALWAYS advertizes he is from North Dakota (NoDak, as he puts it)
    when he is calling CQ.
    Surprized you haven't heard from him before this.


    Ended up with only 166,000 points.
    POOR weekend.
    Rained for almost the entire weekend, only thing I WANTED to do
    was snuggle up with the beagle and snooze. He LOVES to snooze
    when it is raining.

    You should be golden, I just looked in my log and I've not only worked him, but he's confirmed via LoTW. Congrats.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.
