[RTTY] AA5AU Contest Notes now multi computer n1mm SO#R

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

Ed,

In the ham spirit of collaboration, Don posted his observations from the CQ 
WPX RTTY contest. Included in his post were (at least) three topics that 
have driven subsequent discussion:

1. The performance of new RTTY software he was testing
2. The strengths/weaknesses of a logging program he used for the first time
3. Don's requirements for an SO2R / SO2-PC configuration

As a single-op, single-radio, single-amp, single-tower kinda' guy, I've 
enjoyed the resulting discussion on those three topics. Items 1 & 2 directly 
apply to my SO1R station; whereas item 3 not-so-much. However, when the 
thread drifted into an area beyond my reach, the Subject changed so that I 
could exercise my right to use the <delete> key.

- Do I think these discussions will allow me to win next year? No.
- Do I think these discussions will allow me to improve my own score next 
year? Yes.
- Do I think these discussions bring value to me as a lowly SO1R? 
Absolutely!

What is wrong with this picture. Where do single-ops fit into this. I'm 
saying those of us that do not have 3 radios, 3 antenna systems, 3 amps and 
all the misc items needed to run "multi something". If you need to setup the 
software for "multi something", then you need to send in your log as "multi 
something".

And you wonder why the non "multi something" place so low in single-op 
category.

Guess you all need to just keep patting each other on the back......don't 
think about all of the real single-ops that gave you all those Q's and 
mults.
