[RTTY] CQ WW RTTY Contest Practice Sessions

[Sebastian Potenzo]

It was very nice to hear you running on 10 and 15. A great way to see how
to carry on dual running. Good experience!

Unfortunately, I have some minor problems and I think I won't be able to do
SO2R. Let's see what happens at the end of my working day around 21UTC.

See you all,
