HIGHLIGHTS:
           WHEN I SURPASSED THE WORLD RECORD. 
           BEING CALLED BY MOST OF THE DX-PEDITIONS THAT WERE ACTIVE
DURING THE
TIME OF THE CONTEST (AND A FEW OTHERS): 9X/ON4WW, A71CW, R1MVI, TY8G,
VP8CKN.

LOWLIGHTS: 
          NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK RA0FU FOR A NEW ZONE. SLEEPING THRU
THE
SECOND MORNING SUNRISE (WONDER WHAT I MISSED ?) ! WORKING ONLY 1 JA
(JR5JAQ).
MISSING 2 STATES (MS, WY).

          I did sneak down to 80M to see if my low band alert was
accurate.
The big gun Europeans were 20/s9 and others were s9 on the meter.
Didn't 
listen long enough to see if the mid-west was working EU but I suspect
they
enjoyed good condtions to EU. 
          Thanks to all for your qso's to help me achieve my goal.

This was first serious (or allmost serious) RTTY Contest from T91ENS. We 
worked in the Contest just about 24 hours. Rest of time our friend Karl
T9/OH6XY spend into Scandinavian Activity Contest with his special call
T99ZZZ. Had lot of problems with receiving capatibilities on IC-745 (TS-440S
is under repair),missed lot of easy to work multipliers (did any of You make
more DXCC on 40 than on 20 meters ?), missed openings on the 15 meters (was
to busy with USA on 20m second day), but had lot of fun. We start to work
with DIGITEST v1.1, but on the end of the contest, after T94TF's changes,
it must be at least version 1.5 :-). 

Special call sign T99MT was given just before start of the contest and we
get permision to use it in WW RTTY and in the period beetwen start of the
WW SSB and end of WW CW. So if You miss us on RTTY there is another chance
on SSB or CW. QSL manager for this T91ENS operation will be K2PF. QSL's
for T91ENS should go to DJ0JV. 

Our best regards to Contest Committee for the Multi-Single LowPower
Category. Please do same in CW and SSB parts.

It would be real interesting to know what the rules are for this event . . .
er, contest.  It sounds like the "text" will written in some language.  If
it is not your native language, you will certainly be at a disadvantage.
How do you "level" this playing field without simply using random code groups?

Really want to level the field?  I doubt it, but this will do it.  Give the
winners a scoring handicap.  I'm not a golfer, but don't golfers play with
handicaps based on the scoring history?  That way a mediocre golfer can play
with a good one and have a chance of winning, right?  If you are in the top
ten, you get a 0.9 multiplier next year.  If you are still in the top ten,
you get 0.8 the following year.  Pretty soon someone else will win, and
then, they of course will get the 0.9 muliplier.  If you privately want to
know who is really the top scorer, just divide his final score by his
handicap and magically you have his real score.  This system would not care
where you live, how much power you run, if you are married or single, if you
have too many "uniques", if you have stacked 80 meter beams, are on packet,
or just plain cheat.  It would just redistribute the certificates sort of
like welfare redistributes the wealth . . . :-)
