[DX] DX RTTY on 10 Meters?

[Don W5FKX]

Chuck -
The answer to your question is that there is quite a bit of activity and
PLENTY of great DX that shows up on 10m RTTY (and other bands as well). A
quick perusal of my log for the last 18 months or so turned up these on 10m
RTTY: D68C, EM1HO, 3D2CI (Conway Reef), SV9/W4WX, 4K5CW, ER6A, PW0T
(Trindade Is), 3C1AG, K5K (Kingman Reef), 5V7VJ, PW0S (P&P Rocks) to list
only a few of the interesting ones.

As for 10m PSK31, in the same time frame, I found EA8BIB, YL2GKB, BV8BC,
MI0BPB, YO5TP, ZS1AK, SV1DVY,FK8GX,FG5GI,5B4JE,ER1BF, 5C8M (Morocco), ES3BR,
OD5IU, SV5BYP, 5W1SA, not to mention numerous Europeans, S. Am, and Asian
stations.

Whenever you're tuning for PSK and hear stations, it is also reasonable to
listen for RTTY as well. Even if the band seems quiet, try a RTTY CQ and see
what happens.
