[RTTY] RTTY WAS

[Sjolin]

I think location will play a big part as well as the activity of some of the 
rarer states.  I'm located in Missouri and 10-15 years ago I worked all 
states during a RTTY Roundup weekend.  Wasn’t interested in WAS so I didn’t 
pursue QSLs. Don't know if getting confirmations would have been a problem.

I imagine a lot more ops have worked all the states on RTTY than have 
bothered to apply for the certificate.

Hi,

I never paid attention before, but mine was #814 from January 15, 2010, so
they go up about 100/year.

WAS has always been difficult for me, as opposed to DXCC.  It's  tougher to
work 100% of 50 states than 30% of 340 countries.  From the time  I got on
RTTY it took about 5 months to work DXCC and 15 months for WAS.   Vermont
was the last state and I waited quite a while.
