A good night with 50 Qs in the log.  Started off running then had to move frequency, did a bit of S+P then ran again.  Last Q was PSK with M3CVN which is my first PSK QSO since D68C!  Thanks. 
Not a mode I can get into when contesting, the TARA PSK Rumble contests are fun to start off with but time just seems to drag.  Noticed several stations running RTTY in the PSK window so could not make the QSO with them.  Are the logs checked for frequency to ensure this rule is enforced?  They certainly gained an advantage in having a clearer frequency as the QRM was much lighter but I am not sure how many ops would not call them because they were in the PSK window.
Some macros are still on the long side and AFSK>>>Yuk!  But if activity levels grow and develop like this it is going to be a great series of contests.  Looking forward to CW on Thursday.
