[ADXA] S9OK on RTTY - only 33 NA QSOs

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

Congrats on the RTTY Q, San!!! Nice work to be in the "33" !!!

A word of CAUTION for the ADXA folks and 60 meters. S9OK has been 
operating on SSB and CW OUTSIDE the USA authorized frequencies. They are 
good and the EU stations they have been working are good because they 
have that frequency allocation on 60 meters but again we do NOT here in 
the USA if it is off one of the discreet channelized frequencies. Do NOT 
be tempted to operate outside our authorization, as some USA hams have 
done, and place our 60 meter allocation in jeopardy.
