Comments:

THOUGHT I'D TRY THIS SHORT CONTEST TO SEE HOW MY RTTY CONTESTING SKILLS WERE. 
THE UNIQUE FORMAT MADE THIS A TOUGH CHALLENGE FOR A STATION WITH ONLY 50 WATTS
INTO AN ATTIC "SLINKY DIPOLE".  I LIKEN IT TO THE CHILDHOOD GAME OF "HOT
POTATO", EXCEPT NO ONE WOULD TOSS IT TO ME... WHEN I WOULD "QUE UP" ON A FREQ
IT WOULD INVARIABLY BE TOSSED TO A STATION I COULDN'T HEAR, AND WHO DEFINITELY
COULDN'T HEAR ME. I AM GETTING BETTER AT QUICK-TUNING A RTTY SIGNAL, MAYBE BY
THE SPRING VERSION OF THIS EVENT I'LL HAVE THE STATION IN BETTER SHAPE -
OUTDOOR ANTENNA AND FULL 100W POWER CAPABILITY.
TNX TO ALL FOR THE CONTACTS...
