I've never tried RTTY on 6M, but that's not to say that I won't try it in the future! 6M comes and goes, as does 10M. Most of my operation is on VHF/UHF these days. Here's a nifty website you can visit that will tell you what VHF bands are open, and where they're open from and to. I use it daily. http://www.vhfdx.info/spots/map.php 73, -Web (AJ4VM)
