[RTTY] 2007 CQ WW

[Alec Otulak]

Fred,

sorry,
I do not want to judge Your motives,
however, knowingly or not, I find You simply 
produced publicity thus commercialising this
communicator which I find also, to a degree,
annoying...

Anyway, congratulations on Your achievement,
and I do hope to meet You in some future events,
too...

73,
Alec

Alec,

After years of running just SSB contests, I too wondered why people publicly

thanked the sponsors when I first got into RTTY contesting.  However, I 
think it's good to publicly thank the sponsors and the people who work so 
hard to put the contest together, do the scoring, write the results 
articles, etc.

I am simply thanking those that sponsored the plaque and those that put the 
contest together.  Charlie just happens to also be a personal friend.  If 
you've been on the reflector long, you'll note that it is the accepted 
"norm" to thank the sponsors.  It's just a courtesy that has been 
established in the RTTY ranks.

I guess one could also ask why you didn't contact me off line.

73'.....Fred WW4LL
