OT: CQ WW RTTY

[Bill W4ZV]

Fire up your K3s and make a few QSOs in the RTTY Contest!  I just
worked Ed P49X for my first ever RTTY QSO using the simple directions
below:

http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_operating_tips.htm#RTTY%20operation%20without%20a%20computer

This is the format for the exchange:

US/VE stations send RST, Zone and QTH.  All others send RST and Zone.  For
example:

K7QQ: WW DE K7QQ K7QQ CQ
P49X: DE P49X
K7QQ: P49X 599 03 WA
P49X: K7QQ 599 09
K7QQ: TU DE K7QQ CQ

My sending timing is not perfect so I loaded my CW memories with M1:
"W4ZV  W4ZV IM" and M3: "599 05 NC IM".  Don't forget the "IM" (run
together) at the end of each transmission which shorten the
changeover.

73,  Bill  W4ZV

P.S.  Ed W0YK is on 14125 and 21081 as P49X right now.
