Comments:

Well this contest didn't start off right.  After a couple of hours of
operating my  system hung and wouldn't start up again.  Got on the phone
with Eric NR4O and after four hours of checking all the software and not
finding a thing we gave up.  Later that afternoon I wondered if the cable I
built for my MORRTY TinyFSK might be bad so I cut out my splice and rewired
it, plugged it in and it starting working again.  After working the contest
for several more hours Saturday night I quit until Sunday afternoon and
everything worked fine for the first hour and then stopped again.  At this
point I wondered if RFI was getting into the cable and messing up the MORRTY
device so I put clip-on toroids on both ends of each cable and ran until the
end of the contest without a problem. 
Can't wait until the next RTTY contest to see if these fixes hold up.

My apologies to those that contacted me and I didn't respond because of this
problem.

10m opened up good Sunday afternoon and I was able to make 8 JA Qs.

73, Don W4BBT
