K3CCR is the club station at the Collington continuing-care 
retirement community at FM 18OW in MD, just east of DC. 
 
For Feb. NAQP RTTY, I, N3UM was the only available operator.  
The setup was an Omni 6+, a Signalink, a Toshiba laptop with 
Windows 7, and N1MM Classic integrated with MMTTY.  

We did some RTTY in Aug. NAQP, and I had good F key messages   
set up, but I found the rhythm of RTTY contest Qs quite different 
from CW or SSB, especially the need to tune precisely to the  
freq. of a CQing station.   It took 2 hr. to make 25 Qs on 
20 m., 1.1  hr. to make 25 Qs on 15 m., and then 35 min. to 
make 20 Qs on 40 m. So, practice definitely helped the rate, 
plus I heard many more calls with the shorter 40-m. skip. 

"DX" was CM and two different KG4s. Did work HI on 15. I 
quit at 22 Z to eat supper and switch over to CQ 160 SSB.
