[PVRCNC] K3WA in RTTY RU

[Bill Axelrod]

Soapbox:  The name of this contest says it all.  Did RTTY only.  I like
RTTY.  Missed last year's contest due to moving here and no station yet.
Wasn't about to miss 2020.

I am still getting accustomed to band conditions here in NC but they did
seem strange to me.  Started on 20M Saturday afternoon.  Good signals but
all in US/VE.  Felt like the NAQP RTTY.  Could not get any traction running
so moved to 40M about 1500.  And 40 was wide open to EU that early.  That
was a surprise.  Made some exciting but short-lived runs with lots of EU
calling in.  Went to 80 meters later where my poor antenna really showed
it's weakness.  Even there, I had some EU stations calling in.  Did not
expect that.

Sunday AM was all 20 meters.  The band was full of mostly very weak EU
stations.  Many were too weak to print much less work.

Did 11 hours in chair.  Sunday afternoon was family and football time.
