[RTTY] Newbie tips for this weekend?

[Mark Perrin]

Hi JT,

And welcome to one of the fastest growing groups, contesting on RTTY.  Don 
AA5AU has a great site with lots of contest tips, including his "macros" 
that are great.  Check it out at www.rttycontesting.com  and click on his 
contest messages, and his tutorials have great info on rtty and rtty 
contesting, tho with a WriteLog slant.  His personal notes on his contest 
efforts, before Hurricane Katrina got his station, are perfect.  I bet he 
operates some this weekend, which is a credit to his commitment to RTTY, 
RTTY contesting, and skill.

Check out his website; it is terrific.  And have fun this weekend.

73, Mark N7MQ [will be in MT at W7LR in contest]
