Some nice comments.

Francois is back home from his 3XY6A and 3XY8A operation. I thought those that worked him would find his comments interesting.

Those that worked him, thanks for being in that number. Those that didn't there will be follow-up operations later in the year.

Comments from Francois....

   I realized in fact RTTY was a wonderful mode of operation.
  And I was even more amazed how RTTY nutz are disciplined. Every time
  I called one station all the other ones stopped transmitting until I acknowledged
  the report from the station I called. I almost had never anyone interfering
  with the called station. Very very efficient. I was also amazed how people
  find the frequency where I listened. Almost every time I listened for one
  station on a given frequency and answered it, immediately after the QSO
  another station would appear on the same frequency. I usually could make
  about 5 QSO while listening on the same frequency and then had to QSY
  because too many people would be on this frequency. This is why I managed
  to achieve a rate of about 70 QSO per hour. 


  Well just 3 words to conclude: I love RTTY !
