It's quite obvious that a LOT of RTTY contesters do not submit
logs.  In the 2001 ARRL Round-Up, according to Waldemar's list,
665 logs were submitted.  In that very contest I worked 892 unique
calls.

Below, I have put into parenthesis, the number of unique calls I worked
in those contests listed.  I have to conclude that the number of logs
submitted does not represent the number of participants very well.

73, Don AA5AU
