[Elecraft] RTTY

[w7aqk]

I know this is "old hat" now, especially for serious RTTY buffs (which I am 
not!), but every time I work one of these DXpeditions on RTTY, just using 
the K3 and CW input, I get a big kick out of it.  I just did that on 40 
meters with TU7C in the Ivory Coast.  I crank out CW at about 25-30 WPM and 
the K3 does the rest!  Cool!  I could do this with my KX3 or KX2 if my 
antennas were better!

That's about the only time I venture into the RTTY segment, and I would 
generally rather just rag chew on CW, but snagging another DXpedition band 
slot this way is fun.  It sure beats the heck out of the way I had to do it 
in the Army eons ago, with those model 21's, or whatever the nomenclature 
was--I've forgotten now.  That was in an AN/GRC-26 van, with a BC-610, an 
R390, and a rack panel filled with other stuff.  It sure got hot inside 
those vans!!!!  With the K3, I can do it all on a TV tray!
