I was sorry I did not hear more of the FCC gang on RTTY, maybe next
year.  It is the best mode for operating and watching playoff football at
the same time.  

After all the good openings on 10 for the 10 M test, the band was poor
for RR. Same with 40... not as good as last year.  Was it my imagination,
or were there fewer non-US stations in it this year?

Was glad to work all states and Canada except NWT + Yuk.  Doesn't RTTY
work in the frozen northwest?

All in all lost of fun.  

73, Pete  N8PR
