[RTTY] [Fwd: Re: Is West Virginia rare???]

[Brian Spindor]

I have to weigh in on this as well.  I run a pretty modest station from 
Washington State, thus I don't get the opportunities and abilities of 
some of the bigger stations.  Looking over the list of mults I missed in 
the RU West Viginia and Delaware were among the 5 or 6 states I missed.  
I've been struggling with Delaware for years just to complete a WAS RTTY 
and I still did not get it.  This contest could really benefit from some 
of the smaller states calling cq rather than S&P'ing (and what I mean by 
that is the states with the smaller population of hams).  I tried my 
best between S&P'ing and cqing to get these states.

I would really like to see some effort by the clubs in these states to 
set up a solid operation as we seem to miss the MOMR or MOSR operations 
in this contest.  I suspect a solid effort from one of these states 
could easily take the contest.

Just as a factoid.....there are less hams living in Delaware then there 
is in North Dakota.  It's just Delaware is a little closer to other hams.
