[RTTY] CQWW RTTY

[Scott Nichols]

Further to this, one thing I personally would like to see all W/VE stations 
do is send your state/prov first, then your zone...Most logging software 
already knows your zone (most times) and pre-fills it into the exchange 
field...It doesn't know your state/prov (although the prov is known by most 
programs)...Therefore, sending your state/prov first gives me time to 
click/type it in the SECT field while you send your zone...Makes life easier 
and speeds things up a little...

Not sure about other software, but I know N1MM Logger's exchange field 
starts with the section (state/prov) and the curser automatically goes to 
that field when I'm waiting for your exchange...I would imagine WL and 
others do the same, but I don't remember...They at least would pre-fill the 
zone I would think....Anyway, receiving the state/prov first saves a 
click/keystroke or 2...

Also, please check your mult list for the correct listing of Canadian 
multipliers...There is confusion over this every year...The 10 provinces and 
3 territories are all SEPERATE mults in this one, plus Labrador is a 
seperate mult, even though it is a part of the province of Newfoundland and 
Labrador...That is, Newfoundland (NF) is seperate in this contest from 
Labrador (LB)...Therefore making 14 Canadian mults...

Good luck and see you on the weekend...
