Comments:
Did this mostly to learn the software- before the contest, my RTTY QSOs totaled
2, so I thought I'd play for awhile. Worked a bunch of JAs on 10M- nice to see
the band open again. This test is exactly 28 days before CQWW SSB and I'll be
part of the VC2C team in zone 2, so if condx repeat themselves we should have a
good time.
One thing that is still strange to me- audbily, one signal often sounds very
much like another, but the software will decode one and not the other. Some
very weak signals- so weak that they don't even show on the waterfall display-
will be decoded perfectly. Others are S9 and the software won't decode it. I
haven't quite figured out why- maybe distortion products or?- but just by
listening to the signal you can't tell why it wouldn't decode.
