[RTTY] CQ WW RTTY Questions

[Randy Lake]

If I am not mistaken, noone is looking for United States zones (as far as
tough copy). Copy the state and you are all set. Makes no difference the
order or the 589 599 519 sent. Just my take on it and how I handled things
this past weekend. May not be right but........
We still need to make sure the zone is correct for both stateside and DX
but that should not be too difficult. Very easy with the mouse!
