[RTTY] Lack of RTTY activity from Caribbean!

Tue Jun 24 12:28:26 EDT 2003

Tim 
I am kind of new to RTTY myself.  I have the first three but none of the
last four on RTTY.  The ones I have are: J3/K2BHX (11/99), J6/K3UG
(11/99), J79GU (11/20).  So when you go please consider the last few and
it looks like November would be a good time to do it!  Seriously thanks
for letting the guys know what you need.  Usually just before and after
the CQ WW SSB and CW Contests there is a serge of activity on RTTY by
the Contest DXpeditions.  Hang in there!

Hop on the next plane and head down there, Tim -- it's great fun and all

your fellow RTTY ops will appreciate it!

Thre's lots of information on rent-a-QTH's at www.dxholiday.com - there
are 
numerous rental locations that provide everything except the operator,
some 
that provide just the antennas and some that don't provide anything but
a 
great view of the ocean.

Now is a great time to plan a trip for the ARRL RTTY Roundup in January.

Airfares will be pretty cheap and locations should still be available.
Even 
if you're not serious about the contest, it's a great time of the year
to 
go visit the Caribbean!
