Tim
I am kind of new to RTTY myself. I have the first three but none of the
last four on RTTY. The ones I have are: J3/K2BHX (11/99), J6/K3UG
(11/99), J79GU (11/20). So when you go please consider the last few and
it looks like November would be a good time to do it! Seriously thanks
for letting the guys know what you need. Usually just before and after
the CQ WW SSB and CW Contests there is a serge of activity on RTTY by
the Contest DXpeditions. Hang in there!

Hop on the next plane and head down there, Tim -- it's great fun and all
your fellow RTTY ops will appreciate it!
Thre's lots of information on rent-a-QTH's at www.dxholiday.com - there
are
numerous rental locations that provide everything except the operator,
some
that provide just the antennas and some that don't provide anything but
a
great view of the ocean.
Now is a great time to plan a trip for the ARRL RTTY Roundup in January.
Airfares will be pretty cheap and locations should still be available.
Even
if you're not serious about the contest, it's a great time of the year
to
go visit the Caribbean!
