I have to add my 2 cents worth here. In my RTTY contesting experience I
worked North Dakota early on and as I recall it was a challenge but I
got it well before I got some other states. The challenge for me had
been Delaware. I did some research and found that there are less hams
living in Delaware than in North Dakota. It was not clear to me why I
had North Dakota in the logbook and not Delaware until I found this
statistic. After trying for about 3 years on a lark I got into the NA
RTTY QSO Partly contest late and while searching and pouncing I came
across someone sending DE DE....it took me a moment to realize what he
was sending.....damn I jumped on him fast.....he was even on LotW which
saved me a heap of time.
For what it's worth
