It is from Francois, VE2XO, who operated RTTY this past week as
3XY8A and also signs 3XY6A.
Some nice comments.

Francois is back home from his 3XY6A and 3XY8A operation. I thought those that
worked him would find his comments interesting.
Those that worked him, thanks for being in that number. Those that didn't there
will be follow-up operations later in the year.

Comments from Francois....
I realized in fact RTTY was a wonderful mode of operation.
And I was even more amazed how RTTY nutz are disciplined. Every time
I called one station all the other ones stopped transmitting until I
acknowledged
the report from the station I called. I almost had never anyone interfering
with the called station. Very very efficient. I was also amazed how people
find the frequency where I listened. Almost every time I listened for one
station on a given frequency and answered it, immediately after the QSO
another station would appear on the same frequency. I usually could make
about 5 QSO while listening on the same frequency and then had to QSY
because too many people would be on this frequency. This is why I managed
to achieve a rate of about 70 QSO per hour.
Well just 3 words to conclude: I love RTTY !
