I used the CQ WPX RTTY contest to check out the new fldigi RTTY filters (added by W1HKJ and DO2SM based on inputs from W7AY) and fldigi-3.21.68 worked very nice under Mac OS X 10.8.2 with the Kenwood TS-590S. Very few requests for fills and the fldigi decoding was excellent. I did note and logged the "599" serial number send by K4LTE but stuck around to see him give out 600 to the next station as confirmation of what I logged.

[QSO: 14125 RY 2013-02-10 1423 AA5VU         599 193        K4LTE         599 599]  

My score is non-competitive but it was a fun way to enjoy the latest version of fldigi.  The 223 QSOs have been uploaded to LoTW twice because I screwed up. The WPX requires too much time-in-the-chair so mine was a part time effort. I think the competitive stations need and appreciate the part time contest participants.
