[RTTY] SARTG call areas

[Frank Fallon]

There were at least two (2) stations that did not sign /x who were not 
signing their call properly for this contest.  Under Multipliers the 
rules clearly state:

" Note: Stations operating from call areas other than their call ID, - 
must use '/x for their actual call area, i.e. K5DJ/1 "

The rules have been this way for years.  This is not a change.  As each 
call is a multiplier in VK, VE, JA, and W this can have an important 
implication for the total overall scores.  There us to be awards for the 
top scores in each of these call areas.  It is not clear if this is 
still the case.  But the bottom line here is that we should all be 
following the rules.  Clearly that did not happen last weekend.

Side comment:  Fifteen meters was the money band here on Long Island 
where it was possible to some usually rare deep Asian stations with only 
100 watts.  Hopefully we will have similar conditions in the CQ WW RTTY 
next month.
