Tony, maybe we could try a contact on 40 meters once you get setup to try RTTY again.   I've had a couple of QSOs with Russ, WA3FRP, in PA, and Nick, K4NYM, in SC on 40 meters from here in GA.  Are you in NY?  Some of the QRZ info indicates NNE of sandiego,

GM OMs;

Yeah...

When RTTY came to computers, the "art of RTTY" died.

I made several 1-2 minute contacts. No description of their gear, no understanding - and especially not caring about communications protocol. No CR/LF etc.

I lost interest in running RTTY for that reason. Then, moving to a townhome with antenna restrictions in the concrete jungle, I can't hear anything on my receiver.

I'm going to give it one more chance - by putting up a C*MET broadband base antenna (that I can take down when not in use) and see if I can work at least one band.

I remember the good ol' days back in the '70's when you could get on 20M on a round table that would go from 8:00 - 12:00 on Saturday mornings.

UE,
