They haven't operated much RTTY and I sure haven't heard them on that mode.  I 
did get them on four slots, the first being an ATNO, the next three done in 30 
minutes.  Go figure.

After all of the hype, which I heard personally at CADXA right from the horse's 
(KK6EK) mouth, it's been really disappointing. The promised second station at a 
location favorable to us in the SW never materialized. And so on and so 
forth...gripe gripe.  But as a contributor I did get almost instant 
gratification via LoTW.

I've also thought about the logistics of getting there.  I've been on a couple 
of pleasure cruises on ships of 700 and 3,000 passengers.  In each case, just 
not setting foot on land for a day, when there were restaurants, bars, movies; 
libraries, hot tubs, pools, Internet and at least in the Caribbean, Bikini-clad 
ladies to enjoy, was not particularly pleasant.  For these guys to have spent 
the time they did rocking and rolling in a small boat doing 10 knots to put this 
place on the air is a tribute to them, IMHO.
