[RTTY] QSL Info for XU7ABN

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Ah Chen, XU may not be so difficult for the west coast but it's not that easy in
W5 land.

I worked Claude this morning for the very first time.  It was the first time I
have ever heard him.

Of course I have several XU RTTY contacts over the years, but SE Asia is quite
difficult from this part of the country.

73, Don AA5AU

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 :-)
