It should be noted that Ed, a top RTTY contester and major force behind integrating FT modes into contesting, owns and operates a winery and is donating the wines. I live close enough to him to know him as a friend and buy them by the case every year or so. Another top RTTY contester and winery owner, WK6I, donates wine for CQP winners.

No, due to my failure to get the shipments out.  The last wine shipments were 
for the prior 10-Meter RTTY Contest.  Mea Culpa, I will endeavor to catch up.  
Too much volunteer responsibility on my plate, I guess.

FT Roundup: Has anyone in the USA who's finished in the top ten in the FT 
RoundUp ever gotten a bottle of wine?

Just curious.

Yes!

0300-0359 UTC, Saturday, 4 December (that’s Friday evening NA time)

Please use the suggested sub-bands the FT Roundup rules, so as not to confuse 
and annoy the activity on the daily default FT8 frequencies: 
https://www.rttycontesting.com/ft-roundup/rules/  FT4 was developed exclusively 
for contesting so the overlap of these recommended sub-bands with daily FT4 
usage is acceptable.

Despite 3 sub-bands being recommended on each major band, most activity 
concentrates in the first sub-band which makes it harder for everyone to make 
QSOs due to the congestion.  The sooner we all, as a group, learn to spread out 
to the other two sub-bands, the more fun it will be.

After the contest, please email your Cabrillo log file to: ft8-ru@cqww.com 
<mailto:ft8-ru@cqww.com>

Also, Don AA5AU, would really appreciate any stories and photos from your 
operation.

Have fun!

73,

Ed W0YK
