Oh yea this contest has a very interesting twist that called QTC traffic. So stations will ask if you have or want QTC. So what the heck is QTC? Well in a nutshell is an exchange of QSO data (Time, Call and Serial Number) of stations that
you have worked limited to 10 QTC¡¯s. The N1MM program makes this very easy to send or receive QTC especially for RTTY is it a matter of a couple of Key Strokes.
Here is a link for N1MM

own transmitters using 1929 or earlier designs, techniques, and tubes from 1929 or earlier. Hand Keys or Vibroplex-type ¡°bugs¡± should be used.? Non-AWA members with 29-Style rigs are welcome to join in! The objective is to contact as many other 1929 stations
as possible.? Since we use early designs, it is a cacophony of whooping, chirping, buzzing, clicking, drifting, swishing, swaying, warbling, and other interesting signals.?This is what ham radio sounded like in 1929 and for two weekends in November it¡¯s 1929
again on the ham bands! The 1929 QSO Party was started in 1991 and was championed for several years by Bruce Kelley, W2ICE, an AWA co-founder.??
