[RTTY] PW0T, TI9M not the only game in town

[Jim Reisert]

I feel better after having worked PW0T on RTTY again, this time on 15 meters
last night.  Also picked up TI9M on 2nd band (20 meters) running just 100W last
night.

But PW0T and TI9M aren't the only games in town.  Having access to Internet
spots from West Coast and EU help:

*  H40T spotted on 18145 SSB last night around 0530z.  Was still up after
having watched Olympic figure skating.  I worked Lot and asked for QSY to 18105
for RTTY.  He obliged and we worked easily.  W3UR got him also.  I think he
worked a few more guys before going back to SSB.  Thanks for the QSY, OM!  #237
on RTTY

*  AP2IA spotted this morning on 10M in Europe.  I was excited because I worked
YA5T through the EU wall a little while earlier, and AP2IA had a good signal. 
NR1DX made it through, then Ijaz asked for North America.  Despite Europeans
continuing to call, I was able to work him finally.  #238 on RTTY

*  H7DX (Nicaragua, YN) spotted on 20M this morning, simplex.  Then he went
split and worked a bunch of JAs.  Finally got through for #239.

*  Just as I was writing a packet message to W1JR around 8:25 a.m. (it's
getting later and later, and I have to leave for work), EZ8AQ was spotted on
15M.  A couple of calls, and HE was in the log.  #240, and 6 new ones including
TI9M and PW0T.

This is a fun time to be on RTTY.  Both PW0T and TI9M should be there until
very early March.  Everyone should get a chance at these two.  Let's hope for
good things from the PY0S/St. Peter & Paul team.

p.s. I learned the other day that I can save text from MMTTY to a file.  I
think I'll do this when I work a new one, just in case there are any questions
later.
