All reports sent were 599, unless otherwise noted.

Equipment Description:
        Rig: Icom IC-736 running 100w (I like this rig, but it's not very
           good for a RTTY contest.  RTTY uses LSB and you must use the
           standard 2.7kHz SSB filters; there's no narrower choice.)

        Antennas: 80/40m ........... 80m dipole @ 30 ft.
                  20m .............. Force 12 EF-420 4el @ 68 ft.
                  15m .............. Force 12 EF-415 4el @ 76 ft.
                  10m .............. Force 12 EF-410 4el @ 84 ft.

        RTTY Controller: AEA PK-232MBX

        Logging software:  I fumbled with CT on a second computer
           from my primary computer actually running the terminal
           emulator.  I tallied the score by hand after the contest.
           I better get WF1B for the future!

        Soapbox: I enjoy RTTY contests even though I have a compromise
           station for RTTY contesting (see above).  It was great to work
           two new countries (TY and 5X) in this contest.
