[RTTY] Sound Card - Radio Interface ?

[Mark Perrin]

Clint,

Relative new me-sef - I use the Rigblaster Plus, so can do FSK.  I have two 
laptops, old Toshiba, old Dell, and a new Dell table top box with biiigggg 
monitor.  Whatever the chip/soundcard is in them, works fine for me.

For software I use MMTTY for casual operating and  Writelog, plus the MMTTY 
Plug-in, for contesting.

If you have not found them already, check out two invaluable sites set up 
and maintained by Don AA5AU for RTTY.  The MMTTY tutorial is found at 
www.aa5au.com/rtty  and contesting, with emphasis on useing Writelog, is at 
www.rttycontesting.com where you will find lots of Don's recaps on what he 
did and why in particular contests, using USB in lieu of serial ports, 
contest exchanges, and lots more.

Don's candor with the RTTY contest community is a leading example of how 
the great RTTY contesters are willing to share the "secrets" of success in 
this mode.  [main one being stay in the chair, but there are others, :-)  ]

And do not be hesitant about asking questions on the reflector - good group 
no matter the level of question raised - boy, I should know from some of 
the stuff I have asked about.

73 from Oregon,
