[RTTY] UK RTTY Contest

[Thomas Giella KN4LF]

Hi Shelby et all,
  Yes six hours calling CQ UK TEST every 20 seconds, enough to make your eyes bleed. However If I had of been making a serious competitive attempt
in the contest I would not have wasted the time that I did on 160. I was trying to promote the band but 160 is tough going
lightning QRN wise during the summer in Florida. I will be making a serious competitive attempt on 160 RTTY this upcoming winter season!

  WOW, 6 hours with no takers! I get concerned, early in a contest, if I go 5
  minutes with no takers?

  C'Ya, Shelby
