Comment: I am one of the new old guys back into the RTTY mode after a 
hiatus of 30
years..A real learning experience for me after being out of the RTTY mode 
for so long.
A far cry from the TTL/2 and 28ASR days...My QSO production was very 
poor..Now to
work on corrective action for the next one, especially logging, beam 
heading and contest
scoring software....
Learning points: Macros need to be made in advance and not on the 
fly..Search and Pounce
isn't as productive as Running  mode. It seems like you need to stake a 
claim and try to
hold your ground..

Also, I was pleased to work 5U8B, JY9NX and CN8KD and others.. Thanks to 
all contest
participants for a quick baptism of fire!!!!
