Comments:

If you watch the 3830 reflector. ignore the W4MYA posting for the ARRL RTTY
RU contest on the reflector, I screwed up, should have been the K2WK log.
The correct log has been submitted
I may submit the W4MYA log, but only as a check log as we were M/M for a
while.

I sure think the M/S rules suck in this contest! We are only allowed 6 band
changes per hour.
That's 3 QSO's from another band! Sure boring for the second op! Should at
least allow the second station to work multipliers on the other bands like
some of the other contests IMHO.

We had many, many problems with what we think were computer problems on the
15 and 20M computers. Many lockups which required rebooting N1MM and
depending on where we were in the QSO making cycle, we would loose the
contact. The 40 and 80M positions worked fine.
We started as W4MYA, quit at midnight and went M/S with K2WK. Ran until 3AM,
nap time, back on at 8AM and went to the end. Several hours were spent
checking for the correct files in the various computers Sunday so even
though it looks like we put in 15 hours, it was actually closer to 10.
Still do not know why the computers were locking up.
Take care
Bob
