[RTTY] W0ETC SCC RTTY Championship

[Mike Mellinger WA0SXV]

Actually the rules are a little vague.  Paragraph 5 says the first year the
license was issued.  Then paragraph 6 says first of your amateur license.

I suspect that the rules suffered in the translation and it really supposed
to be first year you had an amateur license.  Certainly that was what most
of us sent!

Guess it doesn't matter but they really need to clarify it.

But so many of us have changed callsigns in recent years you can't always 
go by the exchange year. The callsign I am using was issued in '96 with the 
vanity upgrades, so I properly reported 1996, although my original callsign 
was issued in 1951.

That said, I noticed that some of the guys with recent-style calls were 
obviously reporting their original license issue year, not the current 
callsign issue year as (apparently) required by the rules at:

You were good copy here in SC. Thanks for the Qs on 40 and 20.
