Amtor is a fun mode and one which I used on many occasions to get a new one on
"rtty/digital".
There are two occasions which come to mind. One was when Tony, WA4JQS, was
down on South Sandwich and was having difficulty getting the RTTY going. I
found him on 15M Amtor FEC. He eventually did get RTTY working.
My first digital ST Sudan QSO was with ST2AA. Although my log says it was on
Pactor, I believe it may have been on Amtor. Not sure Pactor was around then.
Anyway, it was a mailbox and I got into it late one night and was leaving a
message for the operator when he came on "live" and we had a nice QSO. It was
during the night there and he said he woke up and heard the radio in operation
and decided to go see who it was. I got the card and it was a good one!
