RTTY contest scene has changed considerably over the last decade. USA was
dominant in 1990's but now we have a lot of Eastern EU contesters testing their
newly aquired PC in digital modes. Lof of top CW ops tried RTTY so I can't win
anymore with modest FT1K-SB220-TH6 combination. Contest exchanges have become
faster thanks to an early ON4UN critiques. RTTY subsegments are overflowing
with CW signals in biger contests. I sometimes experience intentional CW QRM
on 40 m. I don't hear CW stations in SSB portion although they are allowed to
us it!? My outstanding task is converting YT1AD/3V8BB on RTTY :-)
