I think I made WAS within 4 hours, it sure seemed quick. ND was the last one, and then I worked a whole bunch of them. It seemed like every rare state was fully represented, and also PEI, NS, and MANITOBA even. In fact, it sure seems like we weren't the only club pushing for the gavel... hope everyone had fun!! 73 jeff wk6i

Comments:

I'd like to thank Tom K5RC once again for letting me play with his toys, for the
great hospitality, and the fantastic southern dinner (ham & black eyed peas
to die for)!

Also, a word from our sponsor: I write the ARRL RTTY Roundup article for QST
and online, and this article will be only as good as the stories and images I
can gather from all of the participants. That would be you!

I will of course glean what I can here from 3830 (thanks Bruce!) but if there
is anything else you might like to contribute:

- Did you achieve a particular operating goal - number of QSOs, rate, DXCC, all
time new one, etc.?
- Did you try something new - like multiple radios, a new antenna, etc.?
- Did you have an unusual experience or problem to overcome?
- Were you operating from an interesting location?
- Do you have an interesting operating tip?
- Was propagation lousy? (Yes, I know, it's ALWAYS lousy!)

Even MORE important, I need good images! Some examples of a good image:

- It's in focus!
- An image with people in it with recognizable faces - no backs of heads!
- A clear image of you and your operating position, operating RTTY (your hand
on that 1943 bug is not operating RTTY ;)
- An image with action - someone is doing something, like installing an
antenna.
- Antenna/tower pictures where you can see it against the background.

Most importantly, a good image is a LARGE jpg. The image must be big enough to
have enough dots to printed in the magazine. A bare minimum file size is
probably 2MB, but bigger is better!

Probably the simplest thing to do is email the picture to me right out of your
smartphone (if that is what you used) or as it was downloaded out of your
camera, before any Photoshop work etc. Just send to wk6i.jeff@gmail.com.

I can handle "raw" file formats out of DSLR type cameras. If that's
what you have I will take it.

If your image is too big to email, just let me know and I will send you a link
to a place to drop it into.

Thanks very much for your help and 73! jeff wk6i@w7rn
