5T is fairly rare on RTTY. I worked 5T5DC on 20 meter RTTY only to find out it
was a new RTTY country on 20M for me (#319).
Finding new ones on 20M RTTY doesn't happen often for me. I had only worked
one other 5T station on RTTY ever and it was 5T5KH in
1993; 15 years ago in April.
In the 2002 AA5AU Most Needed RTTY survey, 5T ranked 74th. In 2005 it ranked
at 64th.
The current 5T5DC Dxpedition is scheduled to continue until March 30 according
to the NG3K DX page. So do what you need to in order
to get them in the RTTY log. Hopefully they will be on other bands.

After listening to 5T5DC weakly into Central Texas for a couple of days, he
rose above the noise floor at 1800Z and I managed to get
a solid contact. That is a new entity for me.

Subject: [RTTY] 5T question
On 16 March 2008 I worked a 5T5 call, 20 meters at 2254z. The print copy was
very poor and I kept getting a different last letter
of the call. Can someone please verify what the call was ? I was getting 5T5D
and the last letter was either C or X or something
else. I listened for over an hour and I just could not be sure. I think it was
5T5DC as the 5T5DX call was used in 2007. Anyone work
it around the same time I did ? Help appreciated as it is an all time new one
for me on RTTY.
