Remarks (Biggest thrill in contest, funniest story, comments, etc.):

My first time EVER on RTTY.  I got cabled up a couple days before the 
contest but couldn't find any stations to test my setup with.  Every time I 
saw my callsign on the screen, it was a real thrill.  I could not believe 
how well the program copied even with wide (SSB) filters.  I did not run at 
all, just S/P.  WS7I was only station I worked on 5 bands.  I worked 43 
countries total, a good start towards DXCC.  Looking forward to the BARTG 
contest in a few weeks.  FSK for sure.

Club Competition: Yankee Clipper Contest Club

This is to certify that in this contest I have operated my transmitter 
within the limitations of my license and hae observed fully the rules and 
regulations of the contest.
