[RTTY] High speed RTTY

[Fabi va2up]

Roger,

I think Bartg represents a good international link amongst rttyers. Maybe this would be a good opportunity to try something 'under Bartg banner' that would most likely attract both NA as well as EU contesters. I have to say this sounds very interesting I would be more than willing to try an rtty HS contest. When do we start? After loosing Anarts there is an open slot I think...
