I listened and heard one OH trying on 40 SSB but every time he moved another
RTTY came right on his frequency. He was soon back on 20 but weak with
flutter.
Exact same thing happened to me SEVERAL times as I tried to work the Texas QSO
Party.
Anyone need any further proof that the RTTY crowd is not what one would
call friendly contesters? Those of you that don't do this sort of
thing.. NEED to talk to those that do to KNOCK IT OFF.
Guess I need to keep my MMTTY program up and running whenever I do 40 CW
from now on, eh?
