Dont need FT4 on rtty, so, as luck would have it, they have been ungodly on 
30m.....one night on 30m cw, I swear they were bending the S meter......the VK0 
is whisper quiet when they can be heard....I dont blame them.....I blame the 
groundhog, as he is responsible for the 3-6 inches of snow we arfe supposed to 
get tonight and tomorrow !!!!
