[RTTY] BARTG HF Contest 2015 Preliminary Results

[Ed Muns]

Ragchewing is the place to "care" about the QSO exchange and to send
something "interesting".  Contesting is a sport where the purpose of the
exchange is to test our ability to send and copy accurately and quickly.

All of the proposed exchanges below, which are offered as not boring, are
the same for every QSO that a station makes.  Accordingly, they can be in a
pre-fill database.  That certainly qualifies them as boring.

Serial number and time are unique for each QSO.  One has be un-bored and
paying attention to send and log them correctly.  It's good that our
diversity of contests includes ones like WPX and BARTG HF with QSO-unique
exchanges.

It's not broken so much as boring to send the time. Who cares what
time the other station thinks it is? That's what clocks are for. 

How about  some useful information such as name or grid or something
entirely new and different? Number of years in ham radio? Power level?
Number of DXCC countries worked on RTTY? 

Use your imagination.
