Comments:
Good fun, lots of stations to work, big thanks to everyone
who called my pathetically weak RTTY tones! 50w to a 40m dipole
isn't going to give you a BIG signal.
Wow! A52YL for an all-time new one; wondered if it was a pirate?
I do like CW, but RTTY contests do seem more relaxing, and
as someone else commented, less brain power required on RTTY. I agree.
I mostly like the format of the contest, especially mults counting
once - that's good for the 'little pistols' who don't have QRO or big
antenna farms. I can't work much on 80m, so you don't feel like you're
losing out if you can keep your rate up on 10-15-20m.
What I don't like is the 2 break periods. Yes, have 6 hours but surely
having 3 breaks of 2 hours should be allowed.
