Hi Roger,
Re the serial number. What distinguishes this contest from the WPX RTTY is
that this one has the state/province exchange for NA stations while the WPX
has the serial number exchange. IMHO the variety is what I like and
sometimes I'd rather not know how the other guy is doing. Hi.
73, Don VE3XD

Hi.
Just sharing my experiences this weekend! Decided to play 80 meters only
as I had to go out on the SUnday all day. I thought I would see what I could
do on that noisy band and was quite surprised. Very happy to work HC8N and
VK6HD. Didn't see any ZL's though.
I do think that an exchange of serial number would enhance the contest. I
realise that sending an extra dot for some is a pain, but the exchange of
599 and zone is already done anyway in WL and is totally redundant. Even if
you miss both the 599 and zone it would not matter - it's already there. Did
anybody send anything other than 599? I was tempted but just joined the
crowd in the end. The point of sending a serial number is that it would
enable us to see who is in front and how well we are doing.
Just MHO....... I am an old grey hair so expect this sort of thing from
me!!!
Enjoyed it though.
