I have a blast with my KX3 during RTTY contests.  I sometimes use the QRP Works Ham Central Terminal with my rig, but about two months ago I simply ran the rig sans terminal using nothing more than message memories and a paddle during a contest.  I easily worked about 24 DX countries through a Super Antennas YP-3 yagi up about 20' in the back yard with little effort.

Will have to give the 10M contest a try, thanks Wayne.

The 10 meter RTTY contests starts soon (0000Z), so take a listen if you get a chance. You can use the CW/data message memories to store your callsign and exchange.

dxmaps.com shows some activity on the band today, a good sign. I’ve also seen a few signals popping up in the RTTY segment. Warm-up exercises, no doubt.
