Me also, I just got everything setup and working Saturday and played for a
couple of hours each day, only 50 Qs total.
I did work RTTY many years ago just to chase DX, so my experience is very
limited. Boy has the required equipment change and the software for contesting
and copying RTTY is great!

Yea, as a rookie I used the same technique.
The important thing is, did you have fun? I did! And with WriteLog/MMTTY/FSK
via microHam Keyer everything worked perfectly. What an easy setup to use.
I did notice a few stations that used the CQ Technique. They apparently were
AFSK and using AFC so that their TX moved with almost every QSO. Did anyone
else notice this?
