[RTTY] RTTY WAS

[k0bx at arrl.net]

I am not really working on a WAS.  My only WAS was when I was a Novice in 1969.

But because of LOTW, I have the following confirmed for 5BWAS RTTY:

80 Meter  - Need Alaska and Hawaii
40 Meter  - Need Alaska
20 Meter  -  Need None
15 Meter  - Need Georgia
10 Meter  - Need Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, RI, SC, SD, 
Tenn, VT and WY.  A total of 12 needed on 10 meters.  So I guess doing the next 
stateside contests, I should be up on 10 meters!

The ARRL RTTY Roundup has been the big contest for getting states.

Yeah, RTTY WAS can be a challenge. I guess that's what makes it fun. I 
have all 50 (via LoTW) but have never applied for any LoTW awards. So 
there's probably an uncounted number of awards that could be claimed but 
have not been.

So who's working on 5-band RTTY WAS?

I am!

I need 27 to go (of the 250). And 22 of them are on 10 meters. If band 
conditions continue to improve, the 2012 ARRL Roundup should help fill 
in a lot of those missing states. Just in time for 12-21-2012 when it 
all comes to a screeching halt! :-)
