BARTG will be running a new contest for 75 baud RTTY only in June 2010. It will
be run as a one-off trial to see how much interest and support is generated.
The aim is to broaden our knowledge of how 75 baud RTTY will work in contest
conditions, how well it stands up in varying HF propagation and what equipment
configurations are best used.
The full rules will be on the BARTG website very soon; this is a short summary:
B.A.R.T.G. SPRINT 75
MODE: 75 Baud RTTY only

Please put the date in your diary and support the contest. Your comments and
