[Elecraft] QRP RTTY

[Mel Farrer via Elecraft]

Bill,
Interesting thread..
I think the correct answer to your question on QRP RTTY is to compare the eff of it to other modes of digital modulation?  That is, what is the bit error rate of it to other modes at threshold levels.... Not to negate RTTY, just make the comparison on energy used to complete a contact......................

Cheers,
Mel, K6KBE

To follow up: Many messages, both on and off list, indicated I 
should give RTTY a good try during field day. My results this 
year were a total of 201 digital QSOs with 21 RTTY QSOs. I had 3 
dups between RTTY and PSK. (RUMPed seems to consider RTTY & PSK 
separate modes and I didn't manually detect the dups until I had 
the entire log loaded into a spread sheet.) I would guess that I 
completed a contact with about 80% of the RTTY stations I 
called, actually a pretty good rate.

So yes, QRP RTTY is worth doing.
