Thanks to DARC, the propagation gods and the RTTY community for making my first
ever WAEDC RTTY such a fun weekend!

Every time I enter a RTTY contest I'm delighted by the friendship and excellent
operating style of most operators. I wish WinTest had more keys left to program
some "73" and "TNX" messages!

4 computers? That's right, darling. One for each eye of the DL1IAO mutant ;-)

I expected less QTCs in RTTY but most people seemed to handle them and they
were almost as much fun as on CW. Being able to send them was a nice option
when the  other station was too weak for a reliable copy. The high bands were
the place to be for QTCs and at the beginning I almost skipped 40/80 except for
some multipliers. WinTest was stable and easy to use as usual, even though I
used a really outdated version. Time to upgrade the old contesting notebooks.

Being called by AH2J (40m), AH0BW (10m), FO5QB (20m), KH6 (15-40m), KL7
(15-40m) and several VK/ZLs was a real treat. However, it was not less
thrilling to work some weak EU multipliers on scatter, and I want to thank
MW0CRI, GU0SUP, EI3GC and LX1TI (to name just a few) for their patience to
complete the QSO.

DL3TD was missed in the QTCs.


73,

Stefan
