I had the same story. Wanted to participate, called CQ, searching on the
bands. Made three contacts and this was it. I beleive one of the major
issues is that Writelog and other wide popular programs do not have this
contest, no modules.
See you all next weelend in SP DX RTTY Contest.
... Ande every night on 1808 MHz on RTTY!!
