Comments:

This W.W. RTTY was a challenge all around.  WQ6X had work commitments much of
the weekend allowing for only 15 hours in the OP chair.  N6GEO certainly picked
up the slack with an incredibly efficient 20 hours in the chair giving us 35+
total operating hours.

We ran a fully-loaded FLEX 3000 SDR radio & Elecraft KPA-500 amplifier into
a 7mh TH3-jr and a ground mounted 6-BTV vertical.  Overall the operation ran
flawless, except for a couple of Windoze "blue screens" and of course
a K-Index 
of 4 noising out 80 meters and 40 meters in particular (S9 noise levels).  On
the other end of things, the 10-meter openings were quite nice this year, with
15-meters giving us our highest single-band total.

Overall this was a GREAT RTTY contest.  I look forward to the next one.
