I know this is "old hat" now, especially for serious RTTY buffs (which I am
not!), but every time I work one of these DXpeditions on RTTY, just using
the K3 and CW input, I get a big kick out of it. I just did that on 40
meters with TU7C in the Ivory Coast. I crank out CW at about 25-30 WPM and
the K3 does the rest! Cool! I could do this with my KX3 or KX2 if my
antennas were better!
That's about the only time I venture into the RTTY segment, and I would
generally rather just rag chew on CW, but snagging another DXpedition band
slot this way is fun. It sure beats the heck out of the way I had to do it
in the Army eons ago, with those model 21's, or whatever the nomenclature
was--I've forgotten now. That was in an AN/GRC-26 van, with a BC-610, an
R390, and a rack panel filled with other stuff. It sure got hot inside
those vans!!!! With the K3, I can do it all on a TV tray!
