When I had some spare time, I played around in the BARTG HF RTTY contest
this weekend and managed to log 300 QSOs and one new RTTY country, TY5MR.

I used this old Mac G4-1GHz AGP and cocoaModem 2.0 v0.22 in the contest
mode.  I had a little trouble at first until I figured out the received time
report had to be typed in rather the selected and copied with the mouse.
This was no big deal as it gave me something to do while wait for the other
station to QSL my report.  I probably ran 50/50 CQ and S&P modes. The
cocoaModem software worked great and both the BARTG and LoTW robots were
happy with my .log file.
