Have no fear, XU on RTTY are not that rare.
My RTTY log shows an XUF2B worked back in February 1998, and XU7ABT
worked in July 2001.
So it looks like one pops up at least once every three years, HI HI.
The XUF2B is not a typo. I have his QSL card right here. Op is Bob
Harvey, K2PI of the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh.
I found him CQ'ing and lonely way up the RTTY segment of 20m in a
contest. I was operating as AA6TY/7 in Phoenix then, using some
aluminium pole that was pretending to be a vertical antenna.
You can tell the DXers from the true contesters during a contest. The
DXers are the ones doing S&P hoping that lightning would strike, and
sometimes it does :-)
