I had a blast this weekend! I made my first RTTY contact ever, and then made
165 more!
WL was a lot of fun to use in the RTTY contest. I did, however, experience many
system crashes. Usually, it would crash when I left the machine running
unattended for a while. When returning to the room after a break, I would see
the Windows message saying that a fault had occured in WriteLog. Everything was
pretty much hung and a system reboot was required. This was 10.14E on a Windows
95 P200MX. Packet spotting, rig control and RTTY connections were in active.
When I just run packet and rig control, there don't seem to be any crashes like
that.
In spite of having to reboot, I still had the time of my life. In RTTY contests
you can make QSOs and talk to your wife at the same time.
73!
