[RTTY] WPX

[Jeff Blaine]

I don't know about other ops but in my case, especially on the last day, 
when I see my exchange number roll back across the screen it causes my 
already fragile brain cell to freak out.  RTTY contesting is a team 
sport where the exchanges are pretty well nailed down and for good 
reason.  And resending a guys serial number, etc is not part of how to 
properly play the game.

If you want to do your own thing, the world is definitely short of RTTY 
rag chewers on the bands.  Absent contest and dxpedition activity, it's 
hard to find a RTTY signal on the bands in the middle of the week...
