[Elecraft] RTTY DX contest going on now -- bands wide open

[Wayne Burdick]

10 meters is chock full of RTTY stations. Just worked CR33DX on 28.098 with low power and a vertical. The exchange is just RST and CQ zone.

Remember that with a K3, K4, KX2 or KX3 you can operate RTTY with just the keyer paddle -- no computer required. When you send CW, the rig converts it to RTTY. The built-in decode/display works quite well.

To truncate the usual 4-second dwell time after transmitting, send "..--" (this is our IMmediately stop transmitting prosign).
