I have heard "someone" say they were going to be on the DE QSO party via 
RTTY.
If I get over this cold...  I was thinking about QRP RTTY during the QSO 
party.
For me "most" of the RTTY contests conflict with other events so I don't 
get on during the contests like I use to.
I think there have been "dx" peditions to DE and W1AW/p was active in DE 
(via locals).
I am getting RTTY QSL's on LoTW from 2001 when I was more active...
