[RTTY] BARTG Sprint 75

[John Barber GW4SKA]

BARTG will be running a new contest for 75 baud RTTY only in June 2010. It will be run as a one-off trial to see how much interest and support is generated. The aim is to broaden our knowledge of  how 75 baud RTTY will work in contest conditions, how well it stands up in varying HF propagation and what equipment configurations are best used.

The full rules will be on the BARTG website very soon; this is a short summary:
