You could think about using the other data modes. With low power and poor
propagation, PSK can work a lot better than RTTY.
The ultimate move across to the dark side is JT65. I started using JT65
about 10 days ago and have 60+ countries in the log, operating just a couple
of hours a day.
Very low power is all you need, but it's a horrible slow process with no
skill required. My only motivation is to get to 100 DXCC then back to RTTY!

Subject: [RTTY] Information please
I am working RTTY about 90% of the time now as I can't copy CW as I once
did. With propagation as bad as it is I am considering buying an amp. Have
not had one for over 15 years. On RTTY I can copy many calls but they can't
copy my 75 watt signal on my 4 element beam and that is frustrating.
With a limited budget I am considering a AL-811H or the AL-811. I would
like to know how either rig works with RTTY. Also how much output power
from the rig do they need to get 200 or 300 watts from the amp. Also, the
Ameritron video on the 811H shows using an interface to protect the radio.
Is this really necessary?
