Too often, RTTY seems to be an afterthought for DXPeditions. Not criticizing
this one because I haven't heard them yet, but past operations have had
operators who are new to RTTY and obviously inexperienced. Nothing wrong
with a new op, but they should get some training before going on an
expensive operation. Seems they are often thrown into the job and expected
to learn as they go.

>From what I have seen the RTTY operator(s) at VK0EK have been very
competent, just not on the air for any decent length of time. I agree that
past operations have had inexperienced RTTY ops and maybe even training
before the trip isn't enough. What would help is to have a couple of ops who
WANT to work RTTY; who are willing to fight the CW guys for the best band or
antenna, then keep that RTTY station active through the operation.
