[RTTY] RTTY contest questions and comments

[FireBrick]

Well probably as they may a couple mistakes.
Like the MANY I made while running.

Like I had forgot to log the last qso and overwrote somehing and was fixing 
it.
Like I missed part of his call and was trying to type it in fast and goofed 
it up worse
Like  I got the zone in the state field and state in the zone field and the 
program as calling me an idiot and not allowing me to go on.

Like when my feeble brain fell asleep in mid cq....

I admire the machine like ops.
Fraid I'll never get to that skill level.
