[RTTY] RST in contests

[Ron Kolarik]

Only had one station doing this and I just asked for repeats until
I got the 599. Don't know if he continued without it or not. I did
have one early without time but he fixed that pretty quick, sent me
001 and when I saw him again at sn 015 it was okay.

Not much time to play in BARTG but did have 3D2A call me on
10m when I was trying to get Delaware.....go figure.
