[RTTY] Dayton Presentation: P49X - 2006 ARRL RTTY Round-Up

[Jay Bromley]

I enjoyed the RTTY forum very much and meeting a few of the guys I work on 
the air!

The highlight for me was to meet Charlie, KI5XP, quite by accident.  He was 
looking at some Begali Keys while sitting down when I came up behind him. 
He was very polite and asked me if I wanted to give the key a go.  So I took 
his chair and after some adjustment I asked him to try the key again.  This 
time I noticed his call while he was sitting down.  You can imagine how neat 
this was for me to meet one of my RTTY heroes purely by chance.

Everyone there was so friendly and it was super to finally meet Shelby after 
the forum on Sunday.  Many thanks to Shelby, Charlie, and Ed for putting on 
the forum.  I am already looking forward to next year's forum!
