[RTTY] Contesting too long?

[peter Jackson]

8-9 - Your hearing test showed an unusual peak around 2125-2295 Hz.

I guess this is my score as one of the channels in my digital hearing aid 
seems to peak on one of the tones, not sure which one but it sure does ring 
through my head. I have to switch it off during rtty contests. Trying to 
figure out how to make it resolve rtty.
Had similar problems as Phil with some qtc's not high lighting, I got the 
impression that if the serial number didn't have any leading zeros it 
stopped the high light. So I captured it my clicking on the first number of 
the time, hope this is correct. BTW had a very fast reply to my log from 
darc giving it  100%, which was a suprise as the cabrillo file looks strange 
with the qtc's in it.
