[RTTY] VK0EK RTTY Update

[G3YYD]

TX7EU at the start of their RTTY did exactly that. They called you on your
frequency. This meant there was no static frequency that could be DQRM. It
made the pile up spread out by having to listen to see if their TX frequency
was clear before calling otherwise there was no point in calling.

The biggest problem as I see it is how to communicate this to majority of
RTTY users that for this particular DX station he is operating this way.
When I first came onto their pile up it took me a few minutes to work out
what was happening and then went for it - quickly got a QSO with no DQRM in
sight. I noticed later on in their campaign they reverted to standard fixed
TX variable RX frequency.

Keep in mind, this is how jammers work these days, and not just RTTY.
They pretend to be a legitimate station that is just "confused" shall we
say, ignoring all "UP" messages. They may use the call of someone they don't
like, hoping they will get a pile of hate mail. 

I know I'm swimming against the tide, but my suggestion to have the DX
answer on YOUR  frequency would solve this. The DX station would call CQ and
end with QYF, meaning "your frequency", then work stations for about five
minutes or so, then go back to the CQ frequency and do it again. Jammers and
non-split operators now become harmless. I think it's worth a try but it
will need the backing of a major DXPedition.
Who will be the first?
