I only have had a handful of RTTY contacts since getting my K3/10 (# 0430). Did play in the RTTY Round Up for a few hours. Cranked it down to 1 watt (I don't know why I keep doing that!) and worked 74 Qs and 31 Mults. Even worked Lee in KS (who bagged over 1K Qs! ) Like Dave, I programmed two CW memories (no [external] computer) and let her rip for search and pounce. Even worked LU, JA, XE, P4 plus several states. That was fun! Antenna, by the way, was my lame 88' dipole with one leg kind of vertical and fed with 450 ohm ladder-line.
Did notice, espcially on 40m yesterday afternoon, that there were solid RTTY sigs from 7.000 - 7.100 MHz. Guess it's the WARC bands if you're looking for a CW ragchew. I do hear some of the digital guys complaining about CW contests on different weekends though so I guess we get to trade a bit. 72, Tim K5OI Ruidoso, NM
