[ADXA] The RTTY count.

[jayw5jay]

Hi Earl,  RTTY accomplishments like yours and other ADXA members I don't think will never be achieved again. I sure hope you get those last three. That would be super cool.I remember when San first got on RTTY he just using canned messages he set up on his Icom transceiver. I am not sure if he ever even hooked up a keyboard to that radio?Another member that loved RTTY DXing was Jim WB5AAA.73 JaySent from my Galaxy

    Nice to hear all the chatter about RTTY. Always been my first
      love.
    Totals here now are: 341 Total and 337 Current. All are RTTY not
      any "WSJT" modes for new ones.
    Of course hoping to catch the remaining 3 on RTTY. Maybe -Maybe
      not. 
    
    Still need Bouvet Island, Crozet Island and Scarborough Reef.
    
    BUT currently I have 280 worked with 268 confirmed with WSJT
      Modes. For whatever that is worth!! ;-))
    No brag - just fact. ("Walter Brennan")

        Hi San,
        Those RTTY
            confirmations of yours are pretty darn good totals!  In fact
            you blew by my overall DXCC stats for a while.  I will never
            catch up to you on RTTY which is now the Digital Award.  I
            might some day on using other digital modes like FT8, but I
            have a long ways to go!  I didn’t do many band/modes when I
            first started DXing in the 90s, but I loved to do RTTY
            contests.  Now I wished I had push hard on that mode as
            well.  Even with FT8 I think I am only hovering around 250
            confirmed on Digital?  Most of that was RTTY doing contests
            or chasing DXexpeditions.  
         
        I do have the
            RTTY DXCC and it is a very nice award!  It is around here
            somewhere, but can’t seem to find it since the move to NWA. 
            If I remember right was signed by Joel, which was cool to
            me.  I always enjoy getting paper signed by them, from the
            big guns, while guys are the ARRL president.  😊  The new paper awards are simply
            fantastic!  I don’t know who designed the ones with the Blue
            background, but they are worth getting IMHO.
         
        BTW, I think
            Charles W5JE down in Fort Smith got over the Honor Roll mark
            when it was RTTY DXCC award?  If he didn’t he was very
            close!  That was a nice accomplishment since that mode
            (RTTY) doesn’t have the weak signal ability like WSJT-X
            modes!  Plus filtering was everything on that mode!
