Sorry for waiting so long to get this into the mailbox.  Would like to share 
my fun of the last few weeks. 
 
I took my Morse code test Feb 19th.  I sure would have liked to pass it.  I 
might have been last one to pass.  Unfortunately, I failed by ONE letter.  Oh 
well....
 
Another VE session was done for me the same night and I was upgraded to 
General class on Friday the 23 along with 3 or 4 others locally.  I only had 2 days 
grace time since I passed my Element 3 test last year on Feb 25th.  
 
Since then I have made some contacts on HF.  A few on SSB and one on CW (not 
pretty).  And lastly of more interest to this forum, I made a RTTY one with 
WA2HWJ in NY.  
 
I am looking for some RTTY contacts from you Greenkeyers.  I can work 20 
meters very well thanks to an antenna tuner and 40 meters as well.  I am running 
about 30-40 watts power on RTTY into a fixed dipole with best direction north 
and south from my location in Vermont.  60 wpm baudot only.  Using a 32 ASR 
with 60 wpm gears.  
 
I dont think I can get to the west coast too well, but will try anything.  
 
Any takers?
 
Again, thanks for the encouragement from all here for the past year.
