[RTTY] NAQP RTTY Practice Thursday & Friday

[Don Hill AA5AU]

I used the practice session to test my station after being off the air for five months since last NAQP.   Hopefully we'll get more
stations on tonight.  With 30 minutes to go before the Friday night practice session, I'm hearing the East Coast on 20M RTTY.  Since
40 and 80 are very noisy, I'm going to try to see how 20 works this late tonight.

Tnx for the test Guys

Actually found and solved a minor RFI problem as a result of adding a pair Dunestar filters a week or so back. I hasten to add, it
was not the Dunestar filters. Glad it showed up tonight and not in the contest on Saturday. 

If I get a chance I might play the practice game again tomorrow evening just to verify the fix.
