[GreenKeys] RTTY Roundup - musings

[Nick England]

Well, my hat is definitely off to Russ and any other Heavy Metal guys who
participate in a contest like this.
I am listening but the exchanges are so short and quick that it is hard to
imagine anything other than a fully integrated SDR/computer system being
able to make a contact, much less competing. If these aren't just pieces of
AI software talking to each other, there must be some fanatical ops hitting
no more than one key per exchange. I would say mouse click, but I don't
think you could move a mouse fast enough....

I am not able to even tune my receiver and TU unless some station is making
a long string of contacts and I have a series of 1-second bursts to try to
tune it in.
And I never ever hear the guy he is replying to.
Hey, I finally found a guy issuing a CR and a LF......Hooray!

I'll just tune around and read the mail - it is interesting to see where
the stations are located. But I'll need a whole lot more RTTY experience
before even thinking about turning on a transmitter during times like these.

Have fun, folks, and more power to ya'
