I was wondering if anyone will be listening for RTTY signals this weekend for the Winter Field Day event. I will be calling CQ for Winter Field Day on 20 and 40 meters during the event starting at 19:

Greetings Diddlers: Nothing like an upcoming contest to bring out the stations! 16 3830 reports last week with a number of stations we have not seen for a while. 20 meters seems to be waking up just a

P49X was loud on 15m when I worked him. Any 15m QSOs that you make are just free points and multipliers that you can collect while you're also on 20m John KK9A (W4AAA in 2020 RU) Sent via the Samsung

15m propagation must have been really weird during the RU. I checked the logs of most of the top NA scores and I do not believe any of them made 100Qs on 15m (I did not check every log). Yet some of t

Hi David, <<<< 1. Sometimes the other station does not include a call in their reply; to whom are they replying to if the call is not there? >>>> When I S&P, I send my reply without callsign. During a

When I compare 20 hours of operating in the WW Digi contest primarily running FT4 (yes I gave it an honest good old college try and made 579 QSOs in those grinding painful 20 hours ) to the 12 hours (

I am not an experienced RTTY op (and did not operate this past weekend). My RTTY activity started when I got an ICOM 7610 with built-in RTTY. And, our local club station uses an ICOM 7300, which has e

David, You're right about the QRM. But I prefer to send a 2nd time "AD4TJ 599 001 001" one time every 100 QSO because you didn't know it was to you than to send AD4TJ 599 001 001 AD4TJ at each QSO. It

Some stations did not send a signal report as part of the exchange as the rules REQUIRE, not just suggested. Sigh. I guess I will still include them in my log. Two Break Rule: who in the world thought

A new poll has been created: Should ARRL reverse DXCC and LOTW award programme to have own RTTY mode award, like it was before it were merged into ONE digital award? Before we had: - CW - Phone - RTTY

I refreshed my memory on the nice videos Larry made about log then grab and log then pop. I knew about log then grab but I'm glad I watched the log then pop video where you can create your stack in th
