[TVARC] ND4G Makrothen RTTY Contest SO/Multi Xcvr HP

[Rich Erlichman]

Wow. This was a fun contest. The point scoring was outrageous. The 
exchange was the 4 character Grid square.
There were no multipliers, BUT the QSO points were based on 1 point per 
kilometer distance between Grid zones exchanged.

Makrothen is an ancient Greek word meaning “great distance” or “some 
distance away”.

I did a mix of S&P, and Run. I certainly saw the value in Running.
I had some Runs where my rate was 60+, but these only lasted for 20-30 
minutes before losing the frequency. Some shorter Runs with rates down 
in the 20-30 per hour. [For Pete/K2PS: I used the "F4 NOW" macro about 5 
times, working perfectly each time].

Conditions were pretty good with the Solar Flux Index (SFI) up at 160, 
and the Sunspot Number (SN) almost as high in the 130-140 range.
Hope to see some of you in the next RTTY contest (WAE DX Contest, RTTY) 
November 12-13.
