[NCC] WRTC / IARU

[WW3S]

I missed two of the WRTC teams....had 71 qso's with them, all on 20....like 
Tom said, 40 never did anything to Moscow, but wow, was it open this morning 
to the South Pacific.....I never heard signals that loud with my vertical, 
and well after sunrise....worked Cal a few times (Cal, what was up with the 
CW? Your call sounded great, but the exchange and TU was all 
choppy...)...yea 20m, Saturday night....I was trying to work all WRTC but I 
had a family emergency Saturday am, and condx seemed to suck early on (only 
had 7 qsos with WRTC around 10am), so I packed it in and went to the lake 
house to take care of something....after dinner, started playing again, and 
WOW, was 20m hot to Moscow....had fun working all the HQ stations....if any 
of you are not active on RTTY, you have plenty of time to get setup between 
now and the end of September for CQWW.....

btw, what was N2NT/K3LR call?
