[RTTY] W7WHY ANARTS

[Tom Osborne]

Fun to get back on after a year off from RTTY.   Had to work Saturday and 
only got on for a bit Saturday night.  Did about 90% S&P.  Was only running 
about 75 watts and didn't see much difference from running high power.  Most 
of the time stations came back to me on the first call.  I even got a small 
run going for about 10 minutes on 20.  What a thrill that was.  Twenty 
meters seemed to open up pretty well here Saturday evening.  Was going to 
try SO2R, but the power supply for the 2nd rig went haywire and only had one 
rig on.  Thanks for the Q's.

Sunday was free fishing day in Oregon so I got to see my 4 year old 
grandaughter catch her first rainbow trout.  She got 5 of them.  What a 
thrill that was!!
