[RTTY] Sartg Friday night

[Brian Kassel]

RTTY Folks:

  Friday night was the pits here as well in far western SD.  Really wild 
conditions this time out throughout the 3 time periods here.  Some 
stateside stations that were very strong and should have been a "Slam 
Dunk", could not copy me at all.  I really thought something was wrong 
with my TX signal.  Then a few minutes later, I would work something 
really weak, and rare. Very strange. The problem wasn't signal strength, 
but some kind of distortion  the best that I could figure.

 I did work some good rare stuff though like Ethiopia, Indonesia 2X, 
Hong Kong, Senegal, Cypress, Macedonia and the usual EU suspects.  Japan 
was noticeable absent, worked only 1. I did mange to work ZL2AMI though. 
Looks like I have a minimum of 50 unique countries  worked this time 
out.  But the close-in stuff was tough.

Guess Maybe That Is What  Makes a Ball Game ;)
