[RTTY] WAEDC!

[Tom Moore]

in principle I somewhat agree, Bill.. However, I think the adrenlin surges a 
tad with the challenge to accurately copy and send the max nr of mesgs.. in 
a way, sorta like maintaining that '80' or '90' qso rate per hour that sends 
nothing but 599 and a qso nr in some of the biggest most perticipated in 
'boring' contests of the year?.  Afterall, as Phil said/suggested, those 
msgs add up to big points somewhat quickly.. Another interesting part of it 
is the strategy of knowing when to send/rcv msgs to your best advantage. 
just my two pennies worth..
