[RTTY] Viability

[Jerry Flanders]

I wouldn't worry about using more conventional power levels unless 
your neighbors are using broadcast TV antennas and you are in a fringe zone.

I use wire dipoles in pine trees - typically 40-50 feet up, and I 
worked 700 Q's this past weekend with 500 W in the CQ WW RTTY 
contest, with 20 giving the most activity.
