[RTTY] CQWW g3ldi soab80m

[Don Cassel]

Hi Roger,

Re the serial number. What distinguishes this contest from the WPX RTTY is
that this one has the state/province exchange for NA stations while the WPX
has the serial number exchange. IMHO the variety is what I like and
sometimes I'd rather not know how the other guy is doing. Hi.

Hi.

  Just sharing my experiences this weekend! Decided to play 80 meters only
as I had to go out on the SUnday all day. I thought I would see what I could
do on that noisy band and was quite surprised. Very happy to work HC8N and
VK6HD. Didn't see any ZL's though.

  I do think that an exchange of serial number would enhance the contest. I
realise that sending an extra dot for some is a pain, but the exchange of
599 and zone is already done anyway in WL and is totally redundant. Even if
you miss both the 599 and zone it would not matter - it's already there. Did
anybody send anything other than 599? I was tempted but just joined the
crowd in the end. The point of sending a serial number is that it would
enable us to see who is in front and how well we are doing.

  Just MHO....... I am an old grey hair so expect this sort of thing from
me!!!

Enjoyed it though.
