[RTTY] Not just for RTTY

[Phil Sauvey]

In reference to the thread below, I received an e-mail from Nels, W0TUP, whom I have worked recently on RTTY back on 03/23/2008 during BARTG. He noticed that I needed ND on CW for my last state. We set up a sked and I was very thrilled to work him on CW this morning (just a few minutes ago). So, ironically, RTTY got me my WAS-CW-LOTW. Andrei, NP3D also mentioned in an e-mail Nels would probably be the one to help me out, too. 

Thanks to Nels for making my weekend. Bands are pretty poor in Alaska today and I am hoping to be working some RTTY in the contest if things open up. RTTY ops are first class and that is one of the many reasons I so much enjoy this mode.

Thanks!

I am 49 on LOTW-SSB but I have not taken the time to see which one of the SSB 50 I am missing yet. I check LOTW every few days but just keep seeing those same ol 49's showing up. Someday soon I'm sure. I have applied and received my Basic award and sure like the new design.  Hope to catch you in the next RTTY contest!

100% LoTW which took 2 NAQP contests and two skeds to complete the entire
thing electronically. Nothing but 100 watts, a doublet, and some extra time
over the winter months.

The certificate is a new design from mine (#435). It is now laid out in
landscape mode and is a bit more colorful. Just a sight change but I like
it. You can see a copy up on the W1SLF web site via QRZ.com. I don't know
when it was updated.

Thanks to all who worked W1SLF. I usually post a note here when it goes
active (most of the winter and occasionally in the off seasons)

PS Of 172 countries logged to date by W1SLF 86+ have confirmed via LoTW and
I expect more to clear. Got to love it but I still automatically QSL all DX
via the Bureau.
