[TVARC] RTTY Roundup K2PS Single Op LP

[Frank M]

Nice job Pete, 
My score was not quite up to your standard but for 6.5 hrs not so bad. 37 states and provinces plus 12 countries
And 114 QSO’s = 5,586 points (I think).
Was not really able to get fully into it due to other commitments. However, there sure was a lot of RTTY activity.
I was about equal on 40M and 20M with just a few on 15M. Would love to have seen some real band openings on 10 and 15.
I just heard about your 7610. I will be real anxious to hear how it works out for you. 
I still love my 7300 but always open to other options!!
Good Job,
Frank KA1AF 
Good Luck in the NA CW QSO Party this weekend.
I will also float around in that one plus the SSB version after that.
