Mr White was probably on the black list - I started up with audio drive 
levels that had been left too high, after messing with another sound 
card program. Sorry about that!

It was my first attempt at this particular contest. RTTY was easy 
because almost all the RTTY signals were in the contest, but the PSK31 
activity was much more diluted among the ragchewers. I got sucked into 
too much tuning for contest signals, and arrived back to RTTY too late 
to do an effective mop-up.

37 QSOs, and a lot learned.

Equipment: 1000MP, end-fed half-wave at 30ft.
WriteLog with MMTTY plugin for RTTY, or WriteLog's not very pleasant PSK 
engine.

Is there any way to use a better PSK engine (say Digipan) while keeping 
the full QSO automation of WriteLog?
