Hello Maza,

Speaking of RTTYCJ, I want to thank and congratulate the RTTYCJ members 
and all other Japanese operators in RTTY contesting lately.  We have 
noticed a terrific increase in RTTY contesting activity from JA in the 
last few years.  We were pleased to have made 380 JA contacts at NN6NN 
in WPX RTTY last weekend.  The Japanese stations I contacted last 
weekend were usually always properly tuned on frequency, listened well, 
behaved well in pileups by not QRMing others who were being called by 
the CQ station, and all used 599 instead of 5NN.  I believe some of the 
rest of us still need to work on a few of these fundamentals.

73...
