>having been at both ends of this a number of times. one never knows 
>what is going on at their end. Yes EU is a problem as they have 
>great prop. 7O is a hard trip from KY. i have heard them 3 times on 
>80 mts but was unable to work them because of the DQRM that was 
>going on. did make it on 40 cw only because i heard jqs thru the 
>DQRM. and went back to them. .  the DQRM was also too much for 40 mt 
>ssb. many more stations would be in the logs if we were not dealing 
>with some poor sick soles who have managed to make their way into 
>ham radio. yes they have always been around BUT not like today. as 
>for RTTY it would be an all time new one for me. but my hopes are 
>not high for getting them between work and when the operate rtty 
>looking stateside. i have heard them 3 times working EU with S8 
>signals here. but they would go qrt to work ssb or cw. knowing that 
>rtty is not a mode that is going to give them large numbers of qsos 
>it is not a top of the list mode to work. never has been and never 
>will be. just hope they find time to work the East Coast NA /SA  on 
>20 mts before they go. one good thing is that now that an operation 
>has happened from 7O more may follow. as for the 6O worked them on 
>ssb cw and rtty all in the same day. now that is amazing hihi.
