[WriteLog] WPX RTTY

[Radio K0HB]

It was a CQ-sponsored contest.  Their management doesn't care what you send, 
so the robot ignores it.

Not always the case. There was at least one station that did NOT send
the number, only the letter equivalents (more than once in the
exchange, separated by spaces).  I listened over multiple QSOs, and he
was loud enough that there was no drop out, i.e. my decoder wasn't
what was fault.
