Comments:
I love RTTY contests but was very constrained with my time for this event. I
planned to only operate 3:00 on Saturday evening (and even that unexpected
window was a pleasant surprise), but found myself with 90 minutes on Sunday
afternoon.
I think I have finally figured out the QTC thing with N1MM, but didn't have a
chance to try it out. N1MM did crash on me at least three times in mid-QSO and
so I have three hams who are NIL. By the time I got the software up and running
again, they were gone. All were while I was in a running mode and using ESM. I
probably hit a wrong key or in some other way scrambled the program, but darned
if I know what I did.
I worked lots of Europeans, but don't know if I landed any new ones in my quest
to finally get DXCC after 27 years. We shall see
