If that happens, better replace me, then. I haven't done a lot of
RTTY contest (probably still less than 2k QSO's in RTTY contests).
I spent a couple of hours last weekend in BARTG.
Punching a couple of buttons was not really my idea of contesting.
Sure, I had to tune for a new station. But, once I found him and
clicked my Call button and he recognized me and sent his exchange, I
clicked my exchange button to him, it was done.
CQ runs were even less energetic: Call CQ. Click on a highlighted
callsign. Send Exchange. Software recognizes serial number and time
received and logs it. Send TU button. Yawn.
I felt more like an observer than a participant.
Give me CW any day.
