RTTY 4 hour contest this weekend - K3 owners...let's have some fun!

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Please see for Ed's announcement:
http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/cq-contest/2008-March/078727.html

and, for the full rules, see:
http://www.ncjweb.com/sprintrules.php

I have no love for RTTY contesting, but this one is only 4 hours max.
The reason I am posting this here is that there is also a TEAM
competition (does not have to be a "serious" team).
I thought that it might be FUN the launch a team effort of K3's using
the CW paddle in to RTTY output method only.

[snip]
Team Competition: Team competition is limited to a maximum of 10
operators as a single entry unit. Groups having more than ten team
members may submit more than one team entry. To qualify as a team
entry, the team registration form on the NCJ web site must be
completed before the contest starts. Use the following link:
[end ship]

RTTY Team Registration: http://www.ncjweb.com/rttysprintteamreg.php

So....anyone (North America) interested in a K3/cw paddle input team?
If you register (above link), please let me know!
I'll suggest the TEAM NAME = "K3 and a cw paddle"

Remember...this will be "for fun" so put in as much or as little time
as you wish.

And don't forget...to turn OFF the idle quickly, the last thing you
send (using CW) is IM (dit dit dah dah - all together - like the
number 2, but missing the last dash).

I might give it a whirl if I can figure out the settings on the K3 to
make it work.

I've never made an RTTY QSO but hey, it might be fun :)
