[RTTY] Pileup of Rookies!

[Tom Osborne]

I think it all might be a moot point.

In looking at the results, I see where 9 people submitted a score to 3830. 
Don't look like there is all that much interest, sad to say.  Maybe if they 
didn't schedule it with 5 other contests on the same weekend??

I didn't get on as I was in 3 other contests this weekend (4 if you count CW 
Ops twice).   73
