</div>I'll be operating the Makrothen this weekend and hope to work you all on  
several bands!  I'll post my score on 3830 as requested.

I'd too would like to see the fun Mackrothen RTTY taken over by  a group 
who has time to do a good job with it.  Such as: offer digital  certificates 
to top scorers in various categories.  I'd like to see  additional classes 
such as: Tribander and Wire categories.  If RTTY@  contesting.com takes over 
the Makrothen, I'd try to assist in some way.

CU in the Mackrothen RTTY later today beginning at 0000Z!

73,
Dick- K9OM

It is a shame. I will  discuss this with the other committee members of 
BARTG and see if we wish to  take it on.

I say lets take this contest over as a group.  Make it RTTY list  event.  
I might even be willing to get involved with running it. I  will  on 
after tonight's local club  meeting.

I have been receiving a  lot of double posts from this list.

Is it possible that my old call  WI8W is still subscribed even though I 
thought I unsubscribed with that  call when I got my new one.  How can I  
check?

There are SEVEN great reasons to do  so:

1. You were planning on it anyway.

2. We have 3830scores.com  to post scores and see who won. This already
works for other  contests.

3. Makrothen is a unique distance based contest with a unique  24 hour
format.

4. All major contest loggers already support  it.

5. It would be a shame to lose such an interesting and already  supported
contest.

6. We then have a year to figure out how to  properly continue it.

7. It's fun!

I will be on from W7RN in  Nevada, USA. I hope you will be too! PLEASE
spread the word to your local  contest groups.

thanks and 73 - jeff wk6i
