[GreenKeys] 2018 ARRL RTTY RU

[Steve Garrison]

Great Wayne!  Doubt I would have. Gotten 10 on the real McCoy!

I think 23 is a very respectable number for using a real mechanical machine.  And I'm not planning on sitting in front of the machine for the entire 24 hours we can work the contest.

For the non-hams, I made DX (meaning distant, or off continent) contacts with N. Ireland, Aruba, Guatemala, & Hawaii.  4 Canadian provinces: ON, QC, SK, & PEI.  Along with 32 different states.
