[RTTY] VK0EK and FT4JA

[WW3S]

Dont need FT4 on rtty, so, as luck would have it, they have been ungodly on 30m.....one night on 30m cw, I swear they were bending the S meter......the VK0 is whisper quiet when they can be heard....I dont blame them.....I blame the groundhog, as he is responsible for the 3-6 inches of snow we arfe supposed to get tonight and tomorrow !!!!
