This was my first contest in many years and I had a lot of fun in the 2008 ARRL
RTTY Roundup. There were some nice band openings on 15 both days. I only
heard Europe once from my QTH near Seattle and therefore no European DX
opportunities but did work some JA's on 3 bands. Band condx generally seemed a
bit better than they have been in previous weeks.
