I finally broke down and started using CW when I realized that it was just too darn hard (and in fact, in some cases, impossible) to get some DX, and CW was a better way for a little pistol station like me to get through. As for RTTY, I've had a tough time as well, though I haven't had quite as much of an issue with the QRM you've had. Mostly, I think they just aren't hearing me, and I haven't been able to get through yet. Keep trying, good luck, and congratulations again. 73, David, K2DBK Hey, congratulations on the first CW contact!

Keep trying, good luck, and congratulations again.
