[Elecraft] QRP RTTY

[Bill Frantz]

Last year during field day, I made 186 PSK contacts and 1 RTTY 
contact running QRP. I tried for many more RTTY contacts, but in 
all but one case, the other station could not hear me. The one 
exception was on 10 meters with a station across San Francisco 
bay from our operation and probably line of sight. He had 
difficulty coping my exchange. Since the PSK contacts included 
stations in New England and Quebec, so I was getting out.

Has anyone had success in QRP RTTY operation? Should I consider 
RTTY a mode only suitable for higher power?
