[PaQSO] RTTY PAQSO

[Bill Gallagher]

As much as it would be a major pain from a mobile
point of view, I would still probably vote YES, just
from an 'adventure' standpoint.

My only concern is that it would penalize the
non-digital stations, especially mobiles and
portables...who are trying to get that clean sweep on
sunday afternoon.

You know, I've never had a clean sweep, although I've
finished lots of them for other folks!

This year will be a real challenge anyway...no driver
at all, since she'll be home attending to the new
harmonic...maybe I can get her to work more than just
a few people from the house this year! :)
