Hey all: KB1TAC

Want to try out the Makrothen RTTY Contest this weekend... I need some help
with a log preset if there is one... I am brand new to RTTY on anything
other than 10m HF. Not certain I will be able to make contacts due low
election antenna and power line noise at my QTH.

I need some distraction from a trip to the ER last night... Not fun.

73,

Jon Frost, KB1TAC
