[SFDXA] 17 Meter RTTY W1AW/7 at 20:33z

[Bill]

Was anyone trying to work the W1AW RTTY Station yesterday on 17? He kept 
calling CQ and the whole world was calling him to no avail. Here is an 
exchange on the RTTY Reflector. Mystery solved...

hi Joe - That was me operating RTTY about 90% of the time starting Sunday
evening to the end. I suspect the K3 was damaged in this challenging
multi-radio environment. I was careful to change bands via direct frequency
entry but I couldn't be in the room 24 hours so I suspect it took a whack
when going 17->15->12 (a K3 changes bands with up/down buttons). I should
have excluded the non-WARC bands for the duration but didn't think of it,
was too wrapped up in getting the RTTY stuff working.

Still, it was the first time I have ever been accused of being a pirate on
the cluster, something I will happily add to my list of accomplishments.
Arrrr!
