Comments:

This was another Totally Remote effort.   Usually, M/M stands for
"Multi-Multi."  In this case, M/M should stand  for,
"Murphy-Mangled!"

Ninety minutes before the contest start, the  coax to the 40M yagi was
severed at the top of the tower when UV-degraded  zip ties apparently 
failed,
allowing
the service loop to be drawn across  the tower top.  So!  We had no 40M
antenna Friday  night!

Saturday, Jay-WS7I suggested we get some kind of 40M vertical  going.  So, a
wire vertical with four radials was quickly made up  andraised. It worked
surprisingly well.

We also had massive rotor  control box issues.  These caused the 15M and 10M
yagis to be parked  on EU and South America, respectively.  Eventually, we
were
able to  re-calibrate the boxes and all yagis then turned.  "But," we ask,
"Why  did all this crapola happen minutes before the contest?" 
Only the Contest  Fairy knows. 

The Internet connection worked flawlessly. 

No  QSOs were made from the W4AAW shack.  Operators and their  remote
locations
were as follows:

AA5AU  -   Louisiana
MM0LID -  Scotland
W4TMO  -  North  Carolina*
N1MGO  -  Massachusetts
ND3D   -   Maryland*
KU1CW  -  Singapore (9V1) Airport Passenger  Lounge!!
W3UL   -  New Jersey* 
WS7I   -   Washington State
K4XD   -  North  Carolina*
K4UB   -  Utah
W6IHG  -   Virginia*
W4AAW  -  Virginia*    (* indicates PVRC  member)

Some pretty remarkable QSO totals were turned in. Especially  noteworthy was
Scott-MM0LID's effort with 617 Qs in his very first outing  with us.  
Gordon,
N1MGO used his secret BIC tactics to produce 460 Qs.  Big thanks for
Don-AA5AU for setting up our positions for diversity  decoding and for 
advice
on other
RTTY operating issues.  

In  the last two hours of the contest, Patrick-K4UB plunged in, operating  
his
first RTTY contest, and from Utah to boot!  He's a quick  learner.

Thanks to W0YK for overseeing this great contest.  And  thanks for all the 
Qs
and Mults.

We look forward to another Totally  Remote effort in the CQWW SSB DX test at
the end of October.  

Murphy, please stay away!

Anyone else play around in the CQ RTTY  contest?  I did some playing around
but too many honey do's, things to  fix, eat out, watch football on Saturday
kept from enormous participation,  Anyway it was fun and the bands,
especially 15 were not too bad
