[RTTY] RTTY Black Hole??

[Jim W7RY]

Let's be realistic here.

The bands are not in great shape. It's summer time. Folks are not around the 
radio like they are in the winter time because of nice weather, summer 
travel and vacations, kid's baseball games etc. etc....  There are no major 
RTTY contests on the horizon.

Have you, w5kdj, noticed the RTTY reflector postings are down too? Perhaps 
not.... I guess that blows the email theory out the window?

Technology changes all the time. I guess television and the internet 
destroyed AM radio didn't it? NO. It just changed it.

Sorry your discouraged w5kdj. Perhaps you need to do some antenna work to 
get ready for the upcoming contest season?
