Here's my score..
Looks like 'Tommy boy' is right behind for MO record,
but I don't think its REALLY matter. I'm glad there is
a TEAM building and will always be proud to be on the
KCDXC team.
Thanks to Bill (AK0A) for participating and also his
shack was a first experience for me in RTTY in my
pretty long HAM live...

Comments:
My first NAQP RTTY. Developed some problems with
IC756PRO during the
contest
running 100W all the time, but seems to be OK after
cooled off. Looks
like my
'Nitty Gritty' Team did good (#1?) in this contest,
proud to be in this
team:
AA5AU,AE9B, KI6DY, AK0A and myself.
Thanks to everyone. Alex KU1CW
