I hope that Wayne will write an up to date contest module prior to the
contest. It's great to see ANARTS come back, even under a different name.
Thanks, Goetz.
PS: Wayne! Any possibility a new "DLDC" module could be somehow written and
downloadable before the contest, which is June 12 & 13, 2010?

> Dear fellow RTTY contesters,

> table and multiplier scheme stay in effect, VK bonus points are removed
> and
> the contest will be run in three 8-hour parts on the second full weekend
> of
> June. A new 6-hour class has been added. Existing ANARTS contest modules
> may be used.
