[RTTY] EA Contest Rules

[Tom Osborne]

Hi Bill

I used to call a couple of guys here in town that worked RTTY to work me on 
all bands.  Lots of times I would never get the Oregon mult on 20, 15 or 10 
unless I worked a local.  Probably most of the time they just worked me then 
quit.  I would imagine my log were the only ones they showed up in.  73
