Comments:

Almost made last years score, but too many distractions with great weather.  But
hey! RTTY contesting does not interfere with listening to the Blue Jay baseball
games....all three wins vs Tampa Bay!  All S&P effort and lots of fun with
no frequency battles.  Found it tough on 40m this year and on 80 and 10 as
well.  Saw a strange decoding phenomenon this year.  Stations sending zone 18
would show at QI, Zone 14 and QR, and Zone 15 and QT  (all one row lower on the
QWERTY keyboard from the actual number.  Noticed this only with some stations
and repeated reports from the same stations showed the same letters verses
numbers.  Similar to the more common TOO for 599.  Only noticed with 4 EU
stations out of 409.  Live and learn. Thanks for all the Qs and getting the
heart beat into the good work out zone in the last hour!

Running true FSK with 250Hz filters...needed on 20m!

80m doublet at 50ft for 40 and 80m.
N1MM+ and MMTTY worked great as usual.
