After completing W1AW/8 in Michigan, my advice is to use split, especially on 10 meters, if beaming Japan.  I tried simplex, but with 100 JAs all calling on freq, stacking was impossible!

I worked 102 JAs in an hour using split.  I never used more than a 2-5 split range.  These 2-20 splits are ridiculous!

I also used RTTY on 160 and 30.  No split was needed there.

I had a total of 1102 RTTY contacts last week.  Have fun!
