[RTTY] dx0p & rtty

[LB3RE \"RAG\" Stein-Roar Brobakken]

Hello FYI: I suggested DU1BP to have focus on RTTY and thats why it became a part of strategy of their choice!  Also they struggle with one sick operator who were kept back at island due rescue and political problem, so i guess the remaining operator tried to be QRV ...  Now they got the 1/2 of the team back into Porto Princessa, luckily the ill operator is in hospital.  73 Rag LB3RE

No doubt CW is faster, but RTTY (actually Digital) has it's own DXCC

award, and that's why they are making the effort.



I haven't listened to these guys in particular, but in most cases

DXPeditions use macros much longer than necessary, probably just due

to long standing tradition.
