[RTTY] P49X Wine Challenge 2016

[Thom]

Hummm.

I did look up P49X on QRZ and read the story there.  Ed also told me 
that call is not very active.

I am not all that new to RTTY contesting. I was very active in it back 
in 2004/2005 but then I got sick.

I recently got back into the hobby, new radios, new antennas, new 
location and new callsign.

I have nothing left from the old days but the certificates hanging on 
the wall and a lot of memories of days past. Even those memories are now 
fading.

Have a great day
