I've used this approach as it was on the Writelog reflector a year or two
ago. The only draw back is it does not allow for the legitimate dupes that
are allowed in the RTTY sprint and gives you no credit for them. But, that
is not a major problem as Wayne will score you log.
73 W0ETC in IA
BTW, still room for 6 more players on an RTTY sprint team if anyone wants to
join us (NA6E, NY1S, W4AUI, & me).

> 3. When the select contest window appears select North American Sprint.
> Select CW as the mode. (mode selected should not matter as all band info

> 4. Select Parameter Setup under the Contest menu and enter your name and
> state.
> 5. Under Bands select Setup Bands.
> 6. Clear All Bands.
> 7. Enter new band information: 3500-4000, FSK as the mode and title as
80M,
> Add this band
> 7000-7300, FSK as the mode
