[GreenKeys] 40 &20m rtty

ARRL RTTY Roundup update. Well, it’s over. Today I operated using the keyboard. Actually, QSO’s went
fairly quickly, with only a few mistakes made. I had to take a couple of breaks, though. My body seems
to get pains in the knees and hands if I stay attached to the M28 for too long. Final outcome is 116 QSO’s,
39 multipliers, 3 zones, 4872 points. I won’t win any contests, but I had a lot of fun on my first Greenkeys
RTTY contest.

73,
