[ADXA] S9OK on RTTY - only 33 NA QSOs (( UPDATE RTTY info))

[Sandy Hutson]

Great catch Stan!  
Updated RTTY data shows 1448 total RTTY worldwide on 30/20 meters and only 179 North American RTTY Qs...  We should feel fortunate, especially to have them on 30m RTTY. I too had only 100 watts with my 7600 on 30m earlier tonight. My sloper was a bit stronger than the all band vertical. You just never know!! Hi hi

Just worked S9OK RTTY w/95w and a dipole on 10.142.3
They must have super ears!

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.

The S9OK operation is seldom on RTTY, just 690 QSOs compared to 22,000 on FT8! ☹
 
Only 33 RTTY Qs with North America and today I felt fortunate to be one of 33 who kept monitoring, looking for spots and then chasing for about 30 minutes on RTTY.  Got them at 1837Z on 20m RTTY. They peaked with 100% copy for about 5-6 minutes. Hard to catch them with propagation into NA on certain bands. 
 
Much of 60m is done on CW and into EU when no conditions exist to the USA. 40 SSB has been into NA but with many USA daily nets, not possible to copy thru them to S9 or to call S9 without having a dozen guys telling USA stations to QSY off their net frequency.. So far I have barely heard them on 40 SSB and have NOT called at all.  I monitor constantly for 160m CW with my old 80/160 dipole that I re-erected just for the S9OK.
 
Keep chasing guys, they will be there another 4 full days. 73,
San K5YY
