5B4AHA: Great Contest as usual. Had a few problems with the qtc's but hopefully managed Thanks for running the contest and hope to cu again next year. 73 Steve.

AK0A: 1st QTC Test, Lots of fun.

DJ6TK: It was my first Test with the brandnew RCKRtty - Program.

DL3GA: Erstaunlich, was auch mit 100W so alles geht ! Ich dachte ich würde es schaffen, die WF1B-Software auf den aktuellen Stand zu bringen - bzgl. Neuregelung der Multiplikatoren. Leider nicht... Also alles von Hand korrigieren. Zudem fing die Austeilung von QTCs am zweiten Tag wieder mit dem ersten QSO an. Das fiel offenbar auch ein paar anderen Usern auf. Ich hoffe, das ist kein Grund für Probleme, denn QSOs hatte ich eigentlich genug. Fuer nächstes Jahr ist da wohl eine andere Software fällig...

DL4MFP: High Power wg. TVI nur auf 15 u. 10 Meter; Ein defekter Kondensator in der Rotorsteuerung verhinderte die effektive Arbeit mit der Antenne (da fehlen doch ein paar Multis..).

DL6JZ: My 2nd entry in a WAE at all and it was fun again. Good participation and fairly conds. WriteLog is an excellent tool for handling QTC's. Thanks to all for this nice weekend.

DL6MHW: With a minimal configuration a lot of fun in WAEDC. I only connected sound-in and sound-out to my TRX. So I had to footpress the PTT for transmitting all the contest. Despite some fight with the system clock MMTTY worked fine during the contest but after the contest some work was necessarry to prepare the entry.

EA8/DJ1OJ: Arrived late evening of 8.11. - so just a little bit testing...

G4EMT: Thanks for the nice contest,wish I had more time.

GU0SUP: Excellent fun, and the new mults structure helps with activity. Great to see 3XY7C taking part too. Shame about the lack of JA's due to the JIDX contest at the same time.

GW4MVA: 1st WAE RTTY - Thanks for the QSO's, see you next year.

I2SVA: Poor propagation, not so much partecipation.

IK2RZP: Only 3 hours but great fun!

K0COP: Bad storms.

K0FX: Got MMTTY working Friday morning and starting the contest Friday evening in the contest. Great way to learn RTTY. First RTTY QSO and first contest QSO. Lots of fun as I thought it would be. Sorry no QTC's, could not figure out how do them on RTTY. Lots to learn and looking forward to it.

K4GMH: Thanks to all who were kind enough to work me. Appreciate all the contacts and QTCs. Also, thanks to the contest committee. Activity was good and the bands were cooperative. Eighty meters was noisy on Saturday night (local time) caused by storms in the Midwest USA. Couple of equipment problems were experienced. One occurred in the first hour as the power out and the drive from the radio to amp. was not as usual. Found the soundcard output plug had moved out slightly (probably kicked out by the opr. - need smaller shoes or maybe operate only in my socks) and not making good contact. Apologies go to all who I tried to work in the first hour as the signal must have sounded awful. That was the only hardware problem. A software problem occurred in RITTY late Sat. (local time). The RITTY tuning indicator was not tracking the received signal. Also, the cursor would not activate the RITTY bandwidth. Had to restart the computer to get it working. Again, thanks to the folks who participated and to the contest committee. Look for you in the next one.

K5AM: Location: Horse Mountain vacation cabin. 34N, 108W, DM54wa, 7900 ft (2400 m). No power lines; Honda generator power.

K5ZD: QTCs on RTTY are even more boring than on CW or SSB. The computer does all of the work!

K6OWL: Poor showing. Couldn't hear much. QSO with all I could hear. QTCs are cool. First time able to QTC as I am now learning Writelog.

KA2D: New rules made operating more enjoyable.

KS0M: Computer crash destroyed the contest program two hours into the contest. After several hours of trying to find the program I went to bed. Saturday (in USA) I had to reinstall the WF1B program and reset all the commands. I finally got back into the contest the last few hours Sunday. The bands were dead in Missouri and I finally gave up. Bright spot was working 3XY7C on 10/20/40 meters. I will be back next year for this contest and maybe be able to S/R QTC's.

N1MGO: Great Contest, thanks to all who contacted me, or answered my call.

N2WK: One of my favorite RTTY contests. Lots of QTC's TX/RX. Still to many " no QTC's"; from lots of stations. Software problems was the number 1 reason. I think QTC traffic is improving however. See you in 2003.

OH2AG: Thank you for another run of the WAEDC RTTY Classic. The new rules seem to attract more participation. Also the conditions were favourable.

OK2-9329: Very good Contest and perfect operators. My age is 64. Radioamateur from 1962(CW,SSB). Now also RTTY, BPSK, SSTV.

OK2SWD: Very good Contest and perfect operators. See you next year again friends.

YO3JF: maybe the most exciting contest of all RTTY ones, due to QTCs!

YU7AE: My best results in WAEDC, activity vy good but propagations not! WF1B and K6STI running vy fine (only problem on calculating new mults).

Z37M: Plane to work this contest from contest location in mountains was canceled beceuse there was a lot of rain in Friday. So we stay in the city, where the antennas for 40 and 80 m. are not so good. Sorry to all who call us, and we didnt copy tham. With not so many expirience, we used Write log and MMTTY and louse some qso's on 40 meters. We forgot about the warning, speacialy for this contest, to save often the log. We miss to made some better score. Any how we have a nice fun again. Thanks to DARC for the nice RTTY contest. See you next year.

ZC4DW: Condx poor and did not have as much time as I would have liked for this years contest.
