[RTTY] RTTY in ARRL Field Day

Wed May 6 11:30:58 PDT 2009

I hope to operate RTTY on Field Day this year.  Last year I rented a 
Honda generator from my local Home Depot and operated out of my house as 
a 1E station (also used deep cycle batteries for power).  I did operate 
PSK31 at the time.  If your setup and XYL will allow it, I highly 
recommend this method.  You can't get much more casual or fun . . . and 
you don't have to worry about managers . . . other than perhaps the XYL.

I have found that Sunday Morning was the best time as most the FD station are just getting back going.  20 Meters is the only band with much activity.  Trying to work RTTY on 40 and 80 will all the CW FD stations was just about impossible.
