[RTTY] Contest Hints

[Keith Maton]

I'd have to ask for a repeat because I have no idea what the abbreviation for Oklahoma is.  Some people forget that there are places on this planet that are outside the USA.


73 Keith.

 599 04 IN OKLAHOMA DE <CALL>

 Just like he (she) has been reading this list very thoroughly lately...

 It made my day. 

 73,

 To add to the list of "Don'ts", please DO NOT spell out ur State.

 I have seen MISSISSIPPI (instead of MS), and OHIO (instead of OH) and the
 list can go on and on. Please abbreviate your state/province guys.

 Also, leave out the UR's (i.e. "W0RAA DE Wxxxx HI DICK UR XXX XXX ETC ETC."

 I APPRECIATE THE CORDIAL GREETINGS, BUT NOT IN A CONTEST. In short, please
 Keep it simple.

 Been a great contest so far and band condx are great, even in the Colorado
 RF Black hole.
