[RTTY] The Makrothen Contest RTTY starts at March 6th, 10 UTC

[llindblom at juno.com]

As much as I would love to play in the initial running of this interesting contest, I will not operate it.  The reason is ARRL SSB DX and my being a grave yard shift low band op at N0NI.  Hopefully, I still remember how to use a microphone, how to copy the EU station on 80 through the east coast S9+ signals, and how to dig those signals on 160 out of the noise.

73 and GL to all this weekend in whatever mode you play on.
