Comments:

 

My first RTTY in several months. I had 22 more Qs and one less multiplier
than

I had in 2009. Finding and working DX was difficult to say the least. Almost
89%

of my contacts were with W/VE.

 

Before the contest and for the first hour, I seemed to be receiving OK but
MMTTY

wasn't doing good copy. This had me baffled and I thought I might have to
quit.

Then I remembered I had installed a/v software for one of those little
computer

cameras. As soon as I changed the MMTTY microphone selection back to what it
had

been before, all was well. Another lesson learned.
