Software: RTTY by WF1B  v4.2 - Thanks Ray!

Soapbox: Very good conditions, especially on high bands. The first
half of the test had very good conditions.  The second half,
conditions seemed poorer and the level of activity seemed lower.  10
was not as good as I had hoped, 15 and 20 did very well in the middle
of Canada on both days.  Need better antennas for 40 & 80, as well as
more activity from the middle of the USA.  Nice to work a variety of
DX from JA, Eu, SA and the Carib.  This is my best RTTY effort to
date, more than doubling the WW RTTY Q count.  Thanks to all those who
dropped by.  See you in the next one!
