Jeff,

  As soon as I saw this eamil I jumped on and put out my call a few times.
Nothing heard but then I saw some RTTY down on 14084.
Made my very first RTTY QSO. Thanks.
I'm in WV and the other operator was in CO.

I fired up the radio for a hot minute and heard some RTTY for a moment around 14.086. Tuned up and threw a few CQs on the Model 32, and got a reply from a brand new 14-yr-old newly licensed ham who got his general 9 days ago. Get those boat anchors and heavy metal on the air, in the words of some famous movie - "If you transmit, they will reply". Or was it something else...

By the way, the band is in and out but that first station was in Alabama, and then worked a Wisconsin station (who may be a member here) - I'm in PA! I'm only running 25 watts into a random wire EFHW too!

Band is fading in and out but still occasionally hearing some RTTY coming through!
