[RTTY] WPX funnies

[John GW4SKA]

Dave,

Agree, agree, agree .....except for:
> The guys who work the entire contest sending on the keyboard
> (slowly)

I work them and if not too busy, hit alt-k, go on the keys and thank them 
for the contact. They may be non-contesters who need a card from me, friends 
who have met me before on-air and want to give me a point in the test or 
even those few still using teleprinters. My last proper printer, a Creed 
444, didn't come with many macros!

Cheers, John GW4SKA
