That online tutorial is the nuts, isn't it?
I got back into this hobby a few years ago after a 30+ year hiatus. One of the
first operating activities I did after I got my ticket was November
Sweepstakes. I had never contested before, and I was hooked like it was crack
cocaine.
I woke up early (for me - 10AM!) on a Saturday morning just after the New Year
and after poking around until about 11AM I "discovered" that the RTTY Roundup
contest was starting at noon.
I'm technically savvy, but knew nothing about RTTY. With the help of Don's
tutorial and a couple of audio cables, I was up and running with MMTTY and AFSK
by the time the contest started an hour later. Had a blast!

I worked one 1x2 callsign that was a rookie. Think it was a K1, but don't
remember for sure.
I've been doing RTTY for just a couple of months and had a great time in the
SARTG and RR. I should have picked up RTTY years ago!
A special thanks to you, Don. Your tutorial made it very easy for me to get set
up and running.
