[GreenKeys] RTTY QSO

[kn7sfz]

Hi group,

I have an enormous noise level here in Portland Oregon but would like to 
listen in on whatever QSO you can arrange.

Does anyone have a link to a good WEBSDR online that I could use for 
receive?  I've toyed with the idea of trying to do a qso that way, as I 
do have the ability to transmit RTTY...it's just that you'd have to be 
down the street for me to receive over the air...haha!  We used to have 
a RATTSNET that met on 80 meters each night at 8pm Pacific but when they 
they changed to Olivia, I lost interest as did perhaps others.  Nothing 
beats the music of the diddle.

There are so many WEBSDRs that I have no idea which has a good history.

Thanks for your time.
