[RTTY] 6m JT65

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

There was so much chatter about JT65 on 6m this afternoon that I took  a 
stab at it.  The band was nicely open here and I had a five QSOs  using my 40m 
coaxial dipole.  Heard AA5AU.  Later I worked YV5AM  on SSB.  Guess I'll 
have to build a proper antenna.

Sounds  like a little bit of fun. I've been on 6 meter JT65 for the past 
couple of  weeks and it seems to be getting better and better each day. By the 
time I get  home in the evening, the band really starts to ramp up. (Hope I 
didn't just  jinx it for this weekend). Last night I worked two new 
stations on 6M JT65 to  bring me up to 39 on that band/mode. The band seems more 
suited to RTTY  contesting than JT65. RTTY exchanges are quick compared to the 
4-6 minutes  required for a JT65 contact. I've lost several JT65 contacts 
because the path  dropped out within that 4-6 minute time  frame.
