[RTTY] RTTY Digest, Vol 165, Issue 41

Wed Sep 28 00:46:00 EDT 2016

Did you create a cabrillo file?
Post contest...under 'file', create 'cabrillo' file. That will give you a
'notepad' document to review. Then bring up the log submission
page. It will ask you a couple of questions, then as you scroll down
there is the space to paste the notepad log. It probably takes longer
to explain.
N1MM should tell you if you missed anything such as the signal report
while you are creating your cabrillo log.

GL & 73,

Happiness is a an activator station with 100 watts and decent antenna. Many of the activators use QRP and most of the time they are not heard.  They get on, work the 10 contacts that can hear them and move on. I have missed a number of new ones because I could not hear them.  It has been a challenge but I have relearned to listen better.
