Hi Greg
Well, I did not operate for that long, actually, I think I had 41
contacts. I doubt if I can operate SO2R, to much confusion. Have enough
trouble doing SO1R!!!!
Only 350 Q's. That's great. I am happy when I get over 25.

Hey Homie!
That is pretty cool huh? If I see a dx spot for someone on RTTY or PSK I
don't have to fire up the digital mode sowftware anymore.
I had fun in the NAQP also, but did not do as well as I had hoped. This was
my first time really trying SO2R and I think it was more of a distraction
than a help. I hope that changes cuz it was rough. Only ended up with
about 350 Qs. Was aiming for 500.

Hi guys.
Worked 33 contacts in the NAQP contest on 80, 40 and 20.
Nice not having to use a computer at all. But you need to be watching
that display for the exchange!!
The funny thing that happened, was when I worked Lee, K0WA.
As his name scrolled by, my wife had walked into that shack, saw it, and
said, 'Hey, the new radio tells you the person's name also!' So, I had
to explain RTTY and the decode function.
But all-in-all, I had a great time for the short amount of time
participating. I had a bit of trouble getting the PSK and RTTY data to
decode. It would have been easier if I read the manual first and it said
you also need text decode on also! Not just DATA MD chosen! Oh well,
lots to learn with this radio. I've retired the TS-570 after 10 years.
