RTTY CONTESTING

If you are going to RTTY CONTEST... please consider the following:

  • Never give your "exchange" data before the CQing station acknowledges you and give your their report.
  • Keep ALL macros short! Some contesters are in it to win it! Be respectful of that. That means send ONLY what is required for the contest exchange!
  • There is NO reason to give "Their call" AND YOUR call EVERY time you send a macro...
  • "PLEASE COPY" is NEVER acceptable in a contest...ESPECIALLY in RTTY! What are these people thinking?
  • Never end a QSO with QSL THANKS FOR THE CONTEST AND GOOD LUCK! Hell!...that is 3 QSOS worth of taking up time right there. Just don't do it!
  • If you don't know the call of the guy you are calling....guess what? DON'T CALL!!!!
  • HAVE FUN!!
