Hello and welcome to the RTTY Reflector Jim!
You will find the nicest bunch of ops here on the RTTY list. We all enjoy the
common thread of RTTY. Most of us are RTTY contesters and DX'ers.
Feel free to join us and if we can help you with anything, let us know!
73, Don AA5AU

> Hello all,
> I am new to the list and figured I would introduce myself. Name here is Jim,
> AD6WL. I have been contesting since March 2001, but
only started to use RTTY this year to chase some of the DXpeditions. I
operated about 9 hours of the CQ/RJ RTTY Contest last month
for my first RTTY contest. I operated about 37 hours for the JARTS RTTY
contest this past week. I use a FT-1000 MarkV, Ameritron
571, Antenna is a Force 12 C4SXL up only 40ft. Plans are for a bigger tower.
Software for tests is Writelog w/MTTY plugin. I
enjoyed the RTTY contests so much that I think I will put a bigger effort into
these test. CQ WPX is my favorite test.

even pulling out the radio manual so as to make some changes. W7AY was talking
about me when he mentioned a wide signal. He
informed me of it and I immediately took steps to correct it. My apology to
anyone who I may have unitentionally QRMed. The good
news is that I did correct the problem, the bad news is that I wasn't aware of
it until later in the test, Sunday I think.
