[RTTY] VP6DI RTTY operation

[Garry Shapiro]

A few days ago, the pilots for the VP6DI Ducie Island DXpedition announced
that there would be RTTY operation within a day. That has not occurred.

A reliable source has informed me that a major reason for the nonappearance
of Ducie RTTY is that there is not a RTTY operator on the trip, although
there is hardware capability. Thus, they may require both prodding and
technical assistance to get QRV on this mode. Frankly, this amazes me.

I am a RTTY fan, but not the RTTY dweeb that is necessary to spearhead this.
Perhaps this heads up will stimulate a qualified individual or two to
contact their pilots about this issue.

Garry, NI6T
