Not so fine, really. In the RU, I will show up in some logs as 4 q's., on
10, 15, 20, and 40. I am still only one station participitating.
A few posts ago, AA5AU said: "In the year 2001, I made a total of 11,669
RTTY contest QSO's (excluding dupes)". Don, do you have the number of
individual stations you contacted? I suspect the number of stations you
contacted over the entire year may come close to the total number of
stations active in contests on RTTY. That number might not be terribly
useful, but would at least satisfy curiosity.
