Comments:

I really enjoy this contest.  Technology has all come together for the digital
modes, including RTTY, and this is a TEST where the time and effort of all
those who engineered the equipment and wrote the code has come to full
fruition.  I remember my early years as an engineer and ham, looking with
amazement of a functioning ASR-33 teletype.  Well, I guess that means that the
technology and this amateur are now fully matured...  Enough nostalgia...

Conditions were marginal but could have been a lot worse.  10M opened on Sunday
afternoon and that helped some, with 20 and 40M the goto bands, with 15M
amazingly productive as well.  

Thanks to all for being such a great group of ops with unending courtesy and
talent for pulling signals through.  See you next RTTY TEST!
