We just finished with Colorado. I would say it would depend on the band
and how many ops you have doing digital. I don't have our final
numbers but I could have worked lots more on RTTY. I personally made
over 3700 contacts on SSB, CW and RTTY. 1400 SSB, 1100 cw and the
rest RTTY. Approx.
AD1C pretty much took care of RTTY on 30m. 10/12 were pretty spotty
which was a real bummer.
If you like JT65 then go for it. Seems like plenty of people are using
that mode.

I'll get with this one, but here goes.
I'm going to be operating W1AW/5 next week and will be doing a lot of RTTY. My
thoughts are that I will not operate JT65 because of
how slow it is. I have worked other W1AW portable stations on JT65 but I just
don't see the value in using a mode that takes 5
minutes to make one contact. Don't get me wrong, I really like JT65 and have
over 1500 JT65 contacts in the log in the past 2 years.
But...
Is there any value at all to operating JT65 from W1AW portable operations? Does
the rate get so slow toward the end that JT65 then
becomes acceptable in spite of its slow rate?
Thanks,
Don AA5AU
