Yea, I could do better if I shortened mine up a bit and became more "serious" about my effort. I send my call after each QSO so people get my call right (not KL7DX) and I think it's just good contesting. ESM is okay and it will make things run a bit quicker and it saves me reaching for the F-KEYs all the time. I enjoy music as much as I enjoy radio. It's calming and I have to credit my daughters for getting me started on most of those bands. I love the bands of the 70's and 80's, back when I was getting into music. Both CW and those bands I listed are just music to my ears! :)KL8DXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200585132950073517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489942416795414473.post-24981287487271532822013-01-11T02:54:52.461-09:002013-01-11T02:54:52.461-09:00Hello Phil, I actually read your post a few times ...Hello Phil, I actually read your post a few times already. It contains so much usefull info on RTTY setup. So, thanks very much for pointing to the K8UT, I always wondered how they did it. I really need to setup my N1MM macro's again. This saves a lot of time in a pile-up. Although I'm not really a ESM fan, I think that is at the end the ultimate key to work RTTY. I'm now listening to the bands you had in your play list. Some I've never heard of, some I did. Good idea listening to music when do digital modes/RTTY. I'll shure will setup my audio equipment again (stored a good Pioneer multiple set for 10 years now) and listen some of my music. Can't wait till my new radio (mancave) shack is ready to use. Good luck in 2013 contesting, 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.com
