Comments:
Not a full effort but was able to put in more time than expected. Handling QTCs
while SO2R is a real feat, but fun nonetheless. Band conditions were great. I
missed some prime time Sunday morning on 10 and 15 because of a commitment, but
was able to still work EU on 10 and 15 before the bands went away.
Operators have become very proficient in handling QTCs and it's a really great
thing. QTCs make this contest one of my favorites. We've come a long way from
the day when we typed QTCs live and recorded them on paper and when I used to
type QTCs on a separate Heathkit H-89 computer, save them to a file on a floppy
and then move the floppy to the H-89 that was running RTTY and send QTCs.
Thanks to DARC for sponsoring the contest and thanks to everyone who worked me.
It was a lot of fun to see old and new friends on RTTY again. Even George,
W1ZT, stopped by to give me some points on a couple of bands.
