NAQP is sitting just in the middle of this newly born DMC... Bad Mistake...

Not nice, not nice...  There are plenty (well, have some weekends left
without RTTY     Contests).
NAQP RTTY July exists since year 2000, if not earlier, now what? A Mess with
the numbers, stations etc etc.. Two different RTTY Contests in one weekend
:(
With due respect to the QSL printers who created the DMC Contest to promote
their business, I would check the calendar first, and ask RTTY Community;
before issuing this contest... I personally like every RTTY Contest and
participate if time permits on all of them; DMC is not an exclusion.

DMC managers! - Please change the dates in the next year (this years is too
late), move it to June or September, there are some free weekends available.

73's to all and see you in NAQP RTTY Contest
