Comments:

Thanks everyone for my first ever RTTY QSOs!

Every time I had to ask for repeats my right hand started to move to the place where the CW paddle usually sits, but this time there only was a mouse!  It took a while to get comfortable but after an hour or so I thought this could actually be more fun than phone!

I missed most of the daylight hours due to other weekend commitments but at the end almost got the full operating time.

It was nice to work many stations I have never heard before - and some familiar calls!

RTTY seems to be ideally suited for SO2R. With one radio there sure is lots of idling and watching the PC generate and print code.

Big thanks also to AA5AU for putting together some excellent tutorials and for willing to share his knowledge with us newbies!
