- Ever tried doing on RTTY? works as well or better. I've even been able to
- get a few words of spanish conjured up out of some deep forgotten memory
- cells on occasion during RTTY contacts.
-
- I have had many long ragchews on RTTY with DX stations from the Ukraine to
- South America, and from Africa to Australia. On RTTY, accents do not get in
- the way, and many people who would otherwise not be comfortable with english
- are able to get enough across to make for great conversation. And, as I said
- before, despite being unable to really understand or speak spanish in "real
- time" I can do a little on RTTY. Then again my brain is able to concentrate
- on the language, rather than being tied up doing encoding and decoding.
-
- I think it is great that some people really enjoy ragchewing on CW. Personally,
- I do mine on RTTY, amtor, pactor and other digital modes. To each his own.
