Hi all,
it was a nice weekend again from the one point of view: Meeting a lot of hams
in a friendly atmosphere is really fine.
But on the other side I was a little bit frustrated: No conds on 10 m, no
U.S.-stn on 80 m and a full missplanning of my time table. So I had the last
three hours of the contest in my operating time, but no QSO! So I went to bed
1.5 hours before the end. This should not happen again.

Some guys described non-efficient operating practices in the past RTTY
contests. O.K. there are all the needed hints and rules published in this
reflector. But those hams are beginners. They don't know anything about this
reflector. They prepared their rig for the RTTY mode and want to see how it
goes. If they make positive experiences in our comunity and see that RTTY
contesting is not a bloody fight one against the others they will be encouraged
and they want to learn more and more. I am not sure if I should remember my
operating stile in my first contests -:)
See you in the ANARTS.
