[RTTY] Spring Break RTTY Sprint

[dg8lav at arrl.net]

Hi Michael,

i use the Lotw for dxcc and other arrl awards only. (if they will
activate this function in the future :) 
Its cheaper and better to handle. I do not send my cards 
overseas any more. Much better for european and non-us ham's.

I like the "real" card and i'm collecting cards since i got my ticket.
>From time to time i take a look in my boxes with qsls and remember 
a lot of nice contacts in the past. Many good memorys about a lot
of real good qso's with real good radio amateurs all over the world.

The rtty community confirms better as any other group of amateurs!
Thank you guys!
