[CQ-Contest] Cautionary RTTY Tale

[Barry Jacobson]

Hi, had family obligations and couldn't get on till about 75 minutes before
end of NAQP. Tried to get going and heard NJ4P CQ. Hit F4 to respond. Had
forgotten to press Function Lock on my Lenovo Yoga laptop. Instead I hit
mike mute on same key. Tried to turn on Function Lock and try again. No
transmission or reception in RTTY. Panicked and restarted N1MM, rebooted
laptop, went into all kinds of settings menus and nothing helped. Then
finally thought I should go back and unmute the laptop mike. Solved the
problem right away after 20 minutes of aggravation. Apologies to NJ4P whom
I left hanging.

73,
