[RTTY] Dumb question about pileups

[Darl DEEDS]

It works the same way whether its SSB CW or RTTY. You find the DX station and listen to him, he will  tell you where he is listening. Usually up several. Sometimes down. The spotting network tells you where he is so you need to find him first of course or else you would not hear him when he responds to you.
 
Rare DX always works split. Well almost always and if not then its a mad house and no one gets thru.
 
Its actually organized chaos but it works. Just remember you have to hear them before you transmit.
