[RTTY] FW: no RTTY ops

[Dick White]

Bill,
I used the TARA PSK RUMBLE file in N1MM to operate the Skirmish. It will
take the exchanges and it did score my 3 QSO's correctly. It does show the
RST as part of the exchange. But, as you send in your score on line, that is
not a problem. It appears that one might do better in this contest using the
mixed mode instead of RTTY only, as I did. I gave it a shot because it was
the only contest on that I had some interest in. I hope the propagation Gods
are favorable next week end and that I get my rotor brake unstuck.

I had a similar experience except I worked only 160 meters, looking for
new states. I worked two stations, neither of which was in the contest.
Part of the problem was lack of support for this particular contest by
N1MM Logger. Perhaps by next time that will be fixed. I used WinWarbler
in contest mode and that worked pretty well. In some ways I actually
prefer WW over N1MM, but I think one has to calculate the score
manually. Also, I doubt if WW can create a Cabrillo log. I haven't been
totally through the help files so I may be mistaken on those issues.
