[RTTY] [FCG] TARA RTTY MELEE

I got into the TARA contest for an hour or so - still need three or four 
states for WAS RTTY.
Quite suprisingly, I found a clear freq and called CQ. So many guys kept 
coming back that
even when I wanted to stop, they just kept coming! That little stint 
resulted in
50 QSOs in 35 minutes. I was using DXLabs at the time (not nearly as 
streamlined as
N1MM) and the wife said watching me work those guys was like watching a guy
playing a video game!

Got one of the states I need (WY) but still need NE - since I got interested 
in RTTY,
I still haven't heard a station from NE.
