[ADXA] RTTY on 20m

[Jay Bromley]

Hi Guys I was monitoring 20m around 0400 UTC and saw a couple huge RTTY
signals on 14.085.  Normally one doesn't find a RTTY signal unless there is
a contest on.  KH6ND/W7 was working someone in the VK.  Anyway I didn't know
if I still had my buffers, my typing skills up to the task, and rig control
ready for RTTY.  Took a few tweaks but gave Mike a call.  We had a 50 minute
chat.  I was using only 100 watts and he was in AZ.  He was running about
600 watts.  The text only caught my buffered message one time.  I was always
able to stay ahead to make me look like a real typist, hi.  

 

Anyway I know this is a DX reflector, but if you want to see more RTTY
action.  You might monitor 14.085 and see what comes up.  I wasn't going to
get on, but curious to see if I could do it.  VK isn't rare DX, but one
might could get some DX lingering around him?

 

Most of these guys are CW ops that chase DX that like RTTY.  So I made one
CW DX Q, one CW rag-chew and one RTTY rag-chew.  Good day really, but no FT8
today, hi.    

 

Anyway just  a though!
