[RTTY] FT5ZM RTTY is a zoo

[John GW4SKA]

Yes there have been some bad things happen. It has happened on all modes.

It only takes a few idiots to cause these problems. This is the first day of 
FT5ZM on RTTY and they are currently working split up to 38KHz (but that's 
another issue). Just think of how many stations are calling them right now; 
100s, 1000s? There will always be a small percentage who make mistakes or 
cause trouble. That's a fact. We can't expect RTTY operation to be free of 
these problems but we can still take pride in being on this mode. Not 
better, not more professional, just diddling!
