I operated through a fair chunk of this one, aprox 15 +/- hours.
I used Writelog and MMTTY which worked well again I thought.
I took a few hours off to play in the TOEC and made around 200 q's on 20cw,
and I took some sleep between 0600-1000.
Activity was as I expected, similar style and pace of SARTG last week.
Band conditions were much improved compared to the last few
days/weeks/months :-) and there were plenty of JA activity again.
I received a few very low years- 1928 ! the majority were 70-80's, and from
memory 1x2002 2x2001 and a handful of late 90's and 2000.
After last week when I missed most of the UK countries, this week on 20m I
worked G, GI, GM, GU, GW ... but of course this time entities weren't mults.
Nice to hear all the regulars on again.
Thanks if you gave me a qso.

I have a question for any RTTY tech's.
I use MMTTY. When I begin a transmission I have a tone that's lasts for
about 1-1.5 secs before the message kicks off, when rx'ing other peoples
signals some have it and some don't.
I presume it's to help the decoders lock on the signal. I would really like
to shorten this down to make exchanges a little more snappy.
- Is there a variable in MMTTY that will allow me to shorten this?
