[RTTY] New files

[K4SB]

Sorry I can't respond to all of you, but all your requests for name
changes and additions are now in the file.

And I'd like to make a request. In purging the old files, 1 call as
old as 1990
and probably well over 100 dating in the 1994-1998 range. ( all
DXpeditions which have not repeated )

I have suggested to Don that the current file is hopelessly filled
with inactive and/or calls which no longer are valid, and that it
might be time to start a new file.

In this respect, I think if we go back 2 years, we would have a pretty
good idea of who's who and what's not.

Don is going to send me his RTTY files for the last 2 years. But I
really need log files from other stations, especially DX from all
continents. Now I promise you I won't merge them all together, dupe
em, and then submit it as my log for this year.):>

So, if you have a log file for any RTTY contest for the last 2 years
with at least 500
or more Qs in it, I would appreciate receiving the .all file, or the
Cabrillo file.

I can then extract the calls. And then destroy the file. Then do a
merge of all and dupe em, and we should have a pretty good idea.

By the way, for the last couple of years, I have been updating the
list as far as vanity calls go, but if you check the file and find you
are not there, please let me
know.

I also download the entire US database from the FCC and decode it, but
believe me, it
is absolutely full of errors.

Finally, if anyone has a LARGE crocodile, and is willing to sell it,
I'm in the market. I'll put it in my swimming pool, put a large
picture of Don near it, and then starve it. Final step will be to put
it in Don's favorite fishing hole! If you can outfit it with a suit of
Kelvar, that would be even better as Don is famous for carry shotguns
and dynamite when he goes fishing.
