[RTTY] RTTY Scores-3830 A good reason

[KH6DV at cs.com]

I agree with Bernies suggestion about posting our rtty contest logs on 3830  
but I have an additional reason to do so.  most of you will remember the 
discussion a while back between cw contesters and rtty operators about using the 
lower 7Mhz frequencies during periods when there were both cw and rtty contests 
active. One of the arguments used by cw contesters was that there is little 
rtty contest participation.  The suggestion was made on this reflector that 
everyone post scores to the 3830 reflector in an effort to show them they were 
wrong.  This was done and actually had a dual effect. A number of non rtty 
contesters saw the postings and became curious about rtty contesting, and eventually 
participated. We have all seen the rise in participation over the last year 
or so, some of this was due to better exposure on the 3830 reflector. To a 
contester there are seldom too many contests, if a cw/ssb contester adds rtty to 
his/her efforts, that's just that much more fun for all f us.  How many times 
have we all asked how we can increase participation in our favorite contest 
mode.  Posting scores to the 3830 reflector doesn't have to change the nature of 
the rtty reflectors identity, post to both, it will have a positive effect on 
rtty contesting participation. When you do post to the 3830 reflector add a 
comment, a little salesmanship here wont hurt.  The number of people who read 
the comment section is amazing. 

Invite the world in, rtty contesting is too much fun to be missed by so many.
