I enjoyed the NAQP-RTTY contest and the majority were very good operators. My 
Pet Peeve is the unskilled operator trying to run SO2R. Skilled SO2R operators 
are seamless and the S&P callers never know the station calling CQ are running 
SO2R.  To S&P operators an unskilled CQ station seems to be deaf,  keeps 
calling CQ over and over again and not responding to S&P callers.  My guess is 
the SO2R station may be tied up working pileup of S&P callers on another band.  
If you are an SO2R operator and start getting a lot of action on one band, turn 
off the CQ bubble machine on the other band until you work the pileup down to a 
manageable level.
My 2-cents worth!
