[RTTY] Using MMTTY in the BARTG HF Contest this weekend

[Phil Cooper]

Hi all,

Sorry, meant to reply before, but it has been a busy week!

Andrei asked if MMTTY will score the contest, and the simple answer is no!
Nor will it indicate dupes, mults, needed entities, or anything else.
MMTTY is a simple RTTY program that works exceedingly well, and was never
designed to be used seriously in a contest.

Bill W6WRT suggested using N1MM, and if you really want to have a go in the
contests, then yes, this is the way to go.
N1MM has the major advantage of being FREE, so there is no problem in trying
it out.
There are other contesting softwares, but most cost money, which is often a
factor in deciding which way to go.

I know there are folks running with just the very basics, who maybe just
want to get on and work a few new coutries/band-slots, and who are generally
not that interested in the contest as such.
This is fine by me, as each and every contact is worth points, and using
MMTTY will probably suffice.

The point is to have fun, and with a set-up you are comfortable with. Be
prepared to watch for a while, and maybe tailor your responses according to
conditions, and enjoy yourself.

Now let's just hope the propagation Gods are happy!

73 and see you in the contest!
