Hi John,
Not only do RTTYers have more fun, but they are a smaller and tighter
community than CW or SSB, and offer a lot of support and encouragement. They
also QSL better and make more use of LoTW and eQSL. I joined up two and a
half years ago and have had a ball ever since working DX, chasing awards and
contesting.
Welcome aboard.

It has only been a year or so since I have been a regular in the RTTY
contests, even though I've been a ham for 23 years. I have been having a
blast operating the RTTY contests. (I operate almost 100% digital...since
I
have been losing my hearing...at 39. I figure it's better to let the Mac
do
the heavy lifting, than to not operate at all) I have noticed that RTTY
ops
are more patient and willing to work a little harder to make the contact,
or
even to help a newcomer.
Even at QRP power levels, I still have quite a bit of fun. Thanks to all
that listen for my 5 watts! See you this weekend!
