[RTTY] Major contest this weekend

[Ed Muns]

Thanks, Bill, for cheerleading this weekend's event!

Point of clarification, though ...

Single-ops are encouraged to operate as much of the 48 hours as they desire.
The 30-hour "limit" is not on operating, but simply on the official score
calculation.

If you're having fun, keep going!  Whatever you do, never delete QSOs from
your log.  This goes for dupes or QSOs beyond your 30-hour score calculation
period.  Doing so may result in penalties for either you or the other
station, or both.

This is one of the big contests of the year and participation will be huge.
There are many categories to choose from. Expect wall to wall stations when
