RTTY DX Notes 2 October
RTTY DX Notes for week ending 25 October, 1992 (BID RTDX1002)
 
Who said the bands were dead recently?  Wow, look what a RTTY contest
does.  More activity than you can shake a stick at.  If you look at
the reports, more than 10K-bytes of stations reported during this
week.  The 7, 21 and 28 MHz bands seem to have obtained the most
attention from guys in the test.  Someone said not much activity on
RTTY.  A thing of the past?  This is a joke.  After the CQWW Test each
one migrated back to 14 MHz.  We should look at the higher bands more
often.
 
A year ago I was packing my luggage for the Albania operation and in
memory of that, when working in the dogpile i never became excitable.
I regret that a rare one during the CQWW did not do the same.  It was
the only bug of the weekend.
 
Our thanks this week go to VK2EG, TG9VT, I5ICY, I5IGQ, DJ3IW, AA5AU,
NT3B, WB2CJL, W2JGR and the Twin-Cities DX Packetcluster network.
Thank you all for information.  Was not able to use all the calls, but
please keep it up.
