Hi Mike, I do agree with Ed K0KL on this. I have been copying the W1AW
bulletins for 40 years. I still do, mostly on RTTY but sometimes on CW.
I have used the scheduled bulletins on RTTY to check out various RTTY
Equipment. I even used W1AW CW to calibrate my Heathkit HW-16 when I was a
Novice.
Just because it broke a QSO with you, it doesn't mean it has no value.
As far as setting up on 14313, you can do that. K1MAN did the same thing
for years on 14275. Just be ready to be at your station 24/7.
So when W1AW comes on, either QSY or just copy it.
