[RTTY] U.S.A CONTEST

[Andrei Stchislenok]

There are in Writelog under "Show Multipliers" 48 (!) north American Mults
(Countries or Entities whatever you prefer) otside of USA and Canada. Should
be one more - FS-Bartolomew, but I have older WL version.
And 63 US States and Canadian Provinces.

Out of 48, I only worked Derek on two bands, this is it. Was looking for him
on other bands, but got no luck at this time.

Usually, in other Contests, there are at least two dozens of North American
Countries (outside of K/VE) are active and can be worked from continental
US.

Why these countyries do not participate in NAQP RTTY? I dont know... Lack of
advertisemnt maybe? Rules are not attractive for them? Who knows...
