Long before MRSC there was 5 minutes simulated CW pileup competition at Dayton, OH and Friedrichshafen, DL. I haven't done bad at them. However, I gave up on WRTC-2002 public CW pileup due to open sp

Orion even beats the laws of physics as hamradio RTTY works with 170 Hz shift at 45 bauds! Just doing Windows XP update and Symantec antivirus download enjoying my soft PC... 73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU
I am sure that reputable antenna experts know that the minimal RTTY RX bandwidth should be 170 + (2 x 45) Hz! The only Orion data provided by ON4UN were filter passbands. We can see clearly that even
okay for my Subaru - on the other side, they both will be functional cars, but his will have some serious damage down both the near & offsides. I prefer wide motorways although there is more traffic

W2EV, I'd suggest that you read K1EA CT update history. I didn't write mine for contest program since 1984. 73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
Very long callsign like HB80IARUREGIONONE have a lot of redundancy. Thanks to our prior knowledge, we should recieve just parts of it and fill the gaps. However, my historical example from 1978 using
(80-40m) noise-both man made and natural? Any radio can do that with present day semiconductors, filters and DSP noise reduction. The main problem is receiving weak signals in the presence of strong
I hope Orion II is coming out with separate PTT and KEY lines? Small step for TT after a lot of emails, giant leap for mankind :-) 73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU P.S. SO2R full BK is utmost hamradio machosh
