Was calling CQ last night on 160M RTTY...( yes, I am a
glutton for punishment!)...
Saw KL7J spotted on 3588 RTTy....but paid no mind to it...
Then saw W2YC spot him to say something like please keep
trying....
So when I QSYd to "listen" ...there Les was in all his
glory....
CALLING CQ...and no one answering!...so dropped my call in
and WHAMMO!
He came right back!
That was my last state needed on 80M RTTY ALL LOTW!...
Got to love LOTW!!
Thanks Les!
