[RTTY] Check out RTTY CONTEST SCENE

[Rfmandmpm@aol.com]

There was a lot of activity during the ARRL RTTY Roundup contest last week. 
My score improved over previous years.  I hope you were happy with your 
results. Many operators submitted their results to this reflector or to 3830. 
I read all the soapbox comments and find them interesting and informative. 
Some operators feel that their scores are just too low and do not submit them 
at all. I believe that even if you only made a few contacts, you should 
submit a log to the sponsor. This should help the log checkers validate qso's 
and includes you as a participant.

Along with the RTTY reflector and 3830, there is the WORLD RTTY CONTEST SCENE 
website that keeps track of Claimed and Final Scores.  DJ3NG Sigi, created a 
database of International RTTY Results and anyone may access the results at <A HREF="http://www.qsl.net/dj3ng">
RTTY CONTEST SCENE</A>  www.qsl.net/dj3ng. It only takes a minute to submit your 
claimed score for any major RTTY contest. Immediately, you can see how well 
you did, compared to the many familiar callsigns already posted. You can also 
compare your current results with your results of a year ago.  The database 
tracks a TOPLIST that will show your total qso's for the calendar year and 
the number of major contests that you entered. Sigi has included a RTTY 
Calendar and links to sponsor sites. If you submit your log to the sponsor 
and do not submit your claimed score to the RTTY CONTEST SCENE, your score 
will eventually be included when the final results are published. Your 
callsign is probably already in the database. The 2002 TOPLIST is currently 
75 pages long. Why not take a look at this interesting website and enter your 
Claimed ARRL ROUNDUP results today? If you enter your claimed score and make 
an error, don't worry. Enter your scores again, because Sigi checks the 
database each day and deletes double entries.       <A HREF="http://www.qsl.net/dj3ng/">Click here: RTTY CONTEST
