Wayne, next week is a good time to get your feet wet. Come on in, the water is fine. The Grid Dip contest is a fun one, just your call and grid location. http://www.n2ty.org/seasons/tara_grid_rules.html
Here is the RTTY bandplan: http://www.aa5au.com/gettingstarted/rtty_subbands.htm When there are no contests, just get on the lower range of the band and call "CQ RAGCHEW". There is a guy that is usually on around 14.085 that likes to ragchew, contest or no contest. If there is a contest, then you will see quite a lot of activity. As the sun comes up, 20 meters is good and you will find lots of stations here. As the sun keeps going, 15 meters will open up and sometimes 10. Then, as the sun goes down, 40 and then 80 will be a good place to make contacts. There is also an RTTY reflector: http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rtty Once you figure out the software and your various settings, RTTY is fun and you can make a lot of contacts. Let me know if I can be of further assistance, Dave, NC6P. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
