[RTTY] RTTY operation in ARRL's Field Day exercise?

[Dave W7DPW]

I was at home and listened several time periods on 20 meters and worked 11
RTTY FD stations from 06-22-2002 1854 -  06-23-2002 0239. from following
sections: OH, NNJ, GA, ID, LAX, LA, MO, TN, WCF, AL, WI.

I also worked SV1FJA on 14.077 at 0218Z who was CQing away.

I am operate RTTY for my club next year.

> N2XJ, NNJ, running as 2A QRP only, had a limited amount of time on digital
modes.  We had about 30 or so RTTY Qs and about 12 with PSK31.  The activity
on PSK was much greater than RTTY, although I find PSK to be much less
efficient for contesting than RTTY.  (W2UP may have a comment on that.)
There was a fairly high percentage of "D" category (home - commercial mains)
stations compared to CW and SSB.  In hind sight, even though we were running
QRP, we probably should have included our 2A category and called CQ a lot,
since D to D contacts are not allowed in FD.

every RTTY station we heard.  Totals for CW/SSB/Digital were about 750 Qs,
not bad for

get the PSKers over to RTTY for FD.
