I am surprised to Ed on 15M RTTY today. I had been informed that he would be in Beijing today picking up a new hex beam. Anyone know anything about that?
Even though P5/4L4FN RTTY contacts do not count for DXCC (yet), if you haven't made a contact with him yet on SSB, it's an easy way to get him. He is a very good RTTY op and if you haven't tried RTTY yet, it's an excellent reason to do so. The RTTY pileup is way down now so it's easier getting through. I know of a couple of DX'ers that have not had success getting him on SSB so they tried RTTY for the first time and made contact with Ed on that mode. If anyone would like to get started on RTTY and has a sound card in their computer, there is a free program called MMTTY that is an excellent program, especially for beginners. Just do a search of MMTTY on your favorite search engine and you will find the URL where you can download it. I'd be happy to work with anyone who needs help getting started on RTTY. I hope this is an appropriate post here. This is my first post to this list.
