I have been using TR for about a year.  Seems like there are several =
contest (RTTY) that I have participated in and these are not supported.  =
I read (skimmed) the manual about the various commands for point =
methods, multipliers etc.  My question is how do I determine which =
contest to start with?  Should I use a contest with similar multiplier =
structure or point methodology?

For example, the EA WW RTTY Contest. I am not looking for someone to =
build the .cfg file, but am interested in a starting point with the =
contest.  Other questions are related to different points for 10 - 20 =
bands and for 40 - 80 bands. =20

Thanks in advance
