[GreenKeys] RTTY Sigs

[telegrapher@att.net]

There is a RTTY contest going on this weekend.  Its called the "ANARTS"
contest and there have been lots of 60 wpm/170 shift sigs on the 20
meter band.  SOme good DX as well.  I listen with a 40 mtr inverted "V"
up about 20 feet so as long as band conditions are good it won't take a
really good antenna to copy them.  If 15 meters comes open, and i
haven't listened down there to see whats happening, up around 21.080 is
where they will hang out.  When that band was open earlier this year i
was hearing signals all the way from 21.075 through 21.110.  Wear out
your arm tuning the receiver.  

After using MMTTY with its tuning aids, i sometime wonder how i got
along without it over the years.  Its really nice to be able to see and
precisely tune in a signal so quickly.  Still, the old 28 clicking away
is nice for hard copy.
