*Purpose:*
*I Need an 80 meter RTTY schedule for my last RTTY state on 80 meters.*
I would appreciate help with a schedule from anyone running RTTY.  I had
schedules about 6 years ago and the stations copied my hi-power but I 
could not copy their low power.  I do have Alaska worked for 160 meter 
CW  W.A.S. award in  May '98. I think the previous times I was heard on 
80 meters was in the 0700~0900 UTC time range.  I worked the 160 meter 
CW QSO around 0700 UTC.

I have 49 RTTY confirmations on 80meters, all 50 on 40 meters, all 50 on
20 meters. still need 10 on 15 meters and 15 on 10 meters.

*My Alaska Duty:*
I was a radar operator in the U.S. Air Force on Middleton Island in 1957
& 1958.  Interesting "remote" duty in the 50's.  There were some 20 some 
odd radar stations all over Alaska in the 50's Cold War era.  I was 
processed in at Elmandorf AFB  in Anchorage and dispatched out of 
Elmandorf AFB to Middleton Island in November '57.   Came back into 
Elmandorf and processed back to the "lower 48" in November '58.   The 
web site below has some very interesting information about the radar 
site that was de-activated in the early '60's.  Did some traveling off 
the island on Cordova Airlines to Cordova several times during summer of 
'58.
