Hi all, 
Next to CW, RTTY has become my favorite contest mode (those of you who enjoy FT8, should check RTTY out. It's more interactive than FT8, but you don't have to know CW, the software decodes it all for you).
Operated 21hours out of the max 30.

Rig: Elecraft K3/OM Power 2000A+
Antenas:
C3S @ 53ft (tower w/ C31XR was cranked down)
40m Dipole @100ft
80m Dipole @ 95ft
Wound up operating 21hrs, had hoped for more, but family stuff both days kept me out of the chair. Mainly missed 10m both mornings, if it opened I missed it.
Also was getting stuff together for VP9 (leaving early Tues morning).
Most amazing time: last 2.5hours of the contest when I went to 40m.
Made almost 200Qs, fantastic run, many mults called in.
Worked many FRCers as usual.
CU next weekend from VP9. John K3TEJ & I will be LP M2 as VP9I (competing against HP, since no category, goal to maximize score).
