Ed lives on the left coast squashing grapes but goes down to the islands for
contesting so in a way the call is inactive. Now the days there is a
contest on, he's banging out 2500/day there operating occasionally So3r.
He's a machine.
If you are wanting wood for the wall, try the summer NAQP. That is the one
contest where the midwest location can be a benefit. The Feb session is a
different story. Same for RTTY Roundup but the competition there is brutal.

Hummm.
I did look up P49X on QRZ and read the story there. Ed also told me
that call is not very active.
I am not all that new to RTTY contesting. I was very active in it back
in 2004/2005 but then I got sick.
I recently got back into the hobby, new radios, new antennas, new
location and new callsign.
I have nothing left from the old days but the certificates hanging on
the wall and a lot of memories of days past. Even those memories are now
fading.
Have a great day

Thom,
I thought you were making a joke but a fellow reminded me that you were
new to RTTY contesting and may now know who P49X is.
You would not be misrepresenting the situation to summarize it this way.
Ed P49X is the Michael Jordan of RTTY contesting. Pick any RTTY contest
and look for the world-wide winner and most of the time you will see P49X
at the top of the ranks. He's also the administrator for the two CQ RTTY
contests. I guarantee you will work him in any major, and from a Midwest
location, probably on 4 bands if not 5 even in lousy prop condx.
