[RTTY] Take Two RTTY Exchange

[Gedking at aol.com]

Hi Gary es Don
Hmmmm lets see if he had 623 contacts and lost 11 because of errors I  
wonder how many mults he had. if he lost one mult that could be 623 pts lost,  
plus 11 X the mults. so I'll take the couple milli sec lost per contact to 
not  loose them pts. remember the score is like an upside down pyramid.
That reminds me I forgot to send in my log because I only made under 50  
contacts I wonder how many total pts I caused people to loose in the 10 mtr 
rtty  contest I better get on the ball.

Don,

Sounds like your friend Eddie and I are kindred  spirits!  My XYL was 
wondering why I was muttering at the radio, "I  thought you didn't have to 
talk in this contest?"

73,
Gary  AL9A
