Back when running RTTY involved the use of clunky radioteletype machines, it all seemed
WaY too complicated for me to make that happen, leaving me to leave RTTY-running to others.
Fast-forward the clock 40+ years, custom computer software simplifying the process considerably,
that even I can make it all work.
Essentially, I am indebted to George (N6GEO) for introducing me to the world of RTTY
radiosport events, way back in 2010. Over the years, I have worked nearly all of the
available GiGs. For me, the more popular RTTY GiGs include:
- [X] - RTTY RU - The 1st radiosport event of the New Year.
- [X] - XE RTTY - Takes us into February RTTY Contests.
- [X] - WPX RTTY - Introduces fast-paced contesting operations.
- [X] - NAQP RTTY - Teaches RTTY & QSO Party principles.
- [X] - BARTG RTTY - Introduces a different exchange-style.
- [X] - SARTG RTTY - With THREE separate operating periods.
- [X] - MAKROTHEN RTTY - Introducing 8, 16 & 24-hour protocols.
- [X] - EA RTTY - a Classic Spanish RTTY GiG.
- [X] - IG RTTY - another Euro-centric RTTY GiG.
- [X] - SP-DX RTTY - another Euro-centric RTTY GiG
- [X] - VOLTA RTTY - a 24-hour Extravaganza.
- [X] - CQ W.W. RTTY - a 48-hour Marathon.
- [X] - WAE RTTY - a training exercise in QTC traffic handling.
- [X] -OK DX RTTY - The final RTTY GiG of the year.
Do YOU operate in any of the above RTTY contests?
Is WQ6X in any of YOUR LoGs?
