[RTTY] BARTG AB2ZY SOAB HP

[Al Kozakiewicz]

I finished first in the #2 US call area last year.  I doubt that will be repeated.  Propagation was lackluster, especially at night.  40M was noisy and dead.  Maybe it's selective memory, but even though last year I operated 5 more hours with only about 75 more total QSO's it seemed a much busier time than 2012.  This year the contacts seemed to come much harder.  Runs were slow and lonely.  I found myself taking 1 hour breaks to go watch basketball, walk down to the lake, get a snack; anything to kill time while waiting for some new blood to appear on the bands.  

And though there were plenty of QSOs with WA5ZUP and AA5AU to remind me that it was a RTTY contest, no W6WRT was logged.  Bummer.
