As a "relative" newcomer, to RTTY, I'm curious as to why several contest's use VK as a multiplier? Obviously, I understand the reasoning for ANARTS, but why the others? I have 168 VK contacts, since June, 1997, and those are with, +/- 30 different VK stations. This situation will vary, depending on location, but I'm still curious? C'Ya, Shelby - K4WW
