[RTTY] SPOT:SV2ASP/A 18.107.6 RTTY

[Don AA5AU]

Amtor is a fun mode and one which I used on many occasions to get a new one on "rtty/digital".
 
There are two occasions which come to mind.  One was when Tony, WA4JQS, was down on South Sandwich and was having difficulty getting the RTTY going.  I found him on 15M Amtor FEC.  He eventually did get RTTY working.
 
My first digital ST Sudan QSO was with ST2AA.  Although my log says it was on Pactor, I believe it may have been on Amtor.  Not sure Pactor was around then.  Anyway, it was a mailbox and I got into it late one night and was leaving a message for the operator when he came on "live" and we had a nice QSO.  It was during the night there and he said he woke up and heard the radio in operation and decided to go see who it was.  I got the card and it was a good one!
