[RTTY] The MMMM's !!

[Art Searle W2NRA]

Hi Jeff,

I don't normally use the double spaces but the WPX is a big one, band 
conditions were very good and the crowd showed up.  I've played in all 
of RTTY contests in the last few months and this is the first one I 
encountered rough print due to crowded conditions and I even have a 
tight rig.  I used WriteLog for about a year and recently switched to 
N1MM.  There are a lot of things I like about both and some things I 
don't like about both but I'm just more relaxed when under the gun using 
N1MM, so it's more fun.

I see your suggestion for a call is in the format for WriteLog.  I think 
that'll assist software requirements and and crowded conditions.  Thanks 
for the suggestion.

73,
Art
