You guys just answered a question I have had -- how do some guys, not too
many but one or two, answer my CQ's W-A-Y off frequency.. Like in this day
and age of digital !! Yea - 40 years ago it was easy to do !
I run FSK, so they must be running AFSK or on the wrong sideband or both ???
They are so far off the only reason I look for them is the timing of the off
freq signal - I figure it's got to be a reply and sure enough, there they
are. One day I suspect I'll run out of RIT !

Okay try this one, I'm running AFSK and all my spots will be the Mark
frequency, that should about cover it. I have problems with the same thing
Gary and my biggest complaint are the guys running USB or Digi-U AFSK and
spotting a frequency somewhere +/- 2khz of right. The skimmers will depend
on having the rig offset set properly just like anything else.
