There are also a number of RTTY contests, in addition to stations operating in RTTY mode during Field Day, etc. For a calendar of events, see:

If the contest exchange is simple (non-serialized), you can probably operate entirely using the message memories. On the KX2, CW and data-mode contacts can also be logged using the rig's built-in logging function, then uploaded to a computer when you get home.

The Northern California Contest Club runs weekly RTTY practice sprints on Fridays, 0145Z - 0215Z (Thursday evening in NA)
-- 1845 - 1915 PDT
-- 2145 - 2215 EDT
-- (others in-between those two)
-- 160: 1805 and up (Last two minutes seem to be popular…)
-- 80/40/20/15 +80kHz up from the band edge
-- Same band dupes ok after 1 intervening Q.
-- 1 kHz QSY rule, otherwise standard Sprint rules
-- Mults per band.
-- 100W power limit

Please visit <http://www.ncccsprint.com/rttyns.html> for complete rules and links to other info. If you find any problems with the web pages, please let me know so we can get them fixed.

This can provide a good source of RTTY signals for listening, and you're more than welcome to join the fun.

BTW, when I play in this sprint, I'm using the CAT interface from my computer to send and receive via the K3's RTTY support.
