[Elecraft] 10 meter RTTY contest starts at 0000Z

Looks like 10 m is acting like 6 meters today -- all the activity is sporadic-E, an all in the eastern half of the U.S.

I sometimes use the QRP Works Ham Central Terminal with my rig, but about two months ago I simply ran the rig sans terminal using nothing more than message memories and a paddle during a contest.
