Soapbox  Comments:  My very first effort in a RTTY contest of any kind in
29 years in
                                          ham radio and 14 years in SSB/CW
HF contesting. It was a
                                          great new experience. Only had
about 30 hours of operating
                                          but still after the contest , I
was hearing RTTY tones floating
                                          around inside my head for an hour
after I quit operating !
                                          The 10M opening was very short
and weak from my QTH of
                                          53 deg. N. latitude. Sunday was
an interesting with 15M and
                                          10M European signals strong, but
due to auroral flutter it
                                          made for some not so perfect RTTY
decoding.
