That's true, RTTY can be a blast. Pay strict attention to the power ratings
of every component in your shack and antenna system. Continuous duty cycle
can get things very hot and burn or melt them and possibly damage your
house, as well. Derate as necessary and don't be a cowboy. Stay safe and
have a great time.

Happy New Year,
