[RTTY] CQWPX RTTY 2009 for K0BX

[k0bx at arrl.net]

I had a good time with this contest.  Low noise level on 40 and 80 meters  made life good.

Two notes about other operators.  I don't know what software was being used but at the beginning of the contest several guys were giving one digit numbers instead of the usually 001.  No problem but it seems to be from a number of guys.

2nd was the guys that were using the K3 sending RTTY by sending CW into the K3.  Boy they were slow!  But at least they were in there playing.

Great Contest!  I almost never operate 80 and 40 as I only have a ground mounted
vertical for those bands.  But conditions were good.  I worked several new
countries and states on those bands.
