Hi, sorry for late post, but originally posted elsewhere and was told
appropriate for this list which I just joined. Glad to meet you guys.

Due to family obligations during RTTY Roundup only had two hour stint on
40m Saturday night and then about 45 minutes on 20m at close of contest. In
both cases, my run rate was worse than S&P. Could call CQ for quite a whole
and just get a bite here and there. Was running 500W into an 80m dipole. I
assume part of it is  my state NY is not very in-demand. But conventional
wisdom is that far fewer people run than operate, so there should be plenty
of customers.

Any thoughts?
