[RTTY] DXing

Absolutely unbelievable.

RTTY has now regressed into a operation of lids.  I am on 24 mHz and set 
up about nearly a kHz above the D2 who was working simplex. Asked if the 
frequency was in use, and it wasn't.  Called CQ, and then a kilocycle 
Kop came by and asked me to QSY.  Seems I am S9 +40 in the midwest.  And 
since this idiot doesn't (a) identify until I started talking to him, 
and (b) doesn't own filters.  He evidently doesn't have real antennas 
either as old Spokane is hardly in the direction of Angola!

Life is unlucky if you can't operate RTTY within 750 cycles of another 
station.  Order some filters.  By the way, using 100 watts into a vertical.
