> Don't know if I actually made the log until I see it on the website but
> some observations about P5/4L4FN on RTTY.
> 
> He operates around 0500Z, 1200Z and 2230Z although he has been known
> to work JA and EU around 0900-1000Z.
> 
> USA East Coast and Mid-West/Southeast can check longpath on the
> 1200Z time slot.  The 0500Z time slot is difficult for USA but that's when
> I worked him on SSB.
> 
> When he called me yesterday afternoon my time (2257Z), he was off frequency
> by 170 hz.  I moved him up 3 kHz because of some noise I had on his
> transmit frequency and when he came back he was still 170 hz high in freq.
> and I had to use my RIT to tune him in.
> 
> He seems to watch the propagation numbers or else no one hears him when
> condx are bad.  When the A index dropped from 43 to 4 yesterday, I had a
> very strong feeling he would be there.
> 
> Calling in the blind, despite being chided by two well known RTTY DX'ers,
> did work (I hope).  He operates on or about 21081 kHz Mark FSK frequency.  If
> he goes split, he tends to work up around 5 kHz or so.  He does answer 
> random CQ's and those calling blind.
> 
> For those using WriteLog, a couple of days ago I added P5/4L4FN and 
> 4L4FN to my callsign database.  The only real reason I knew it was him was
> because his callsign highlighted yellow in a sea of alphabet soup after I had
> moved him up to 21084.
> 
> I've uploaded this new database to the website.  You can access it at
> www.geocities.com/aa5au.  I had been trying to call him remotely from my
> office PC controlling my home radio, but I had a feeling it wouldn't work.
> Those feelings were confirmed yesterday when he called me off frequency.
> Had I been "remote" I would have never known he was there.  I guess I need
> to get the audio part the "remote" access working.
> 
> Ed, K4SB, has this recent database and is purging old calls per the FCC call
> database.  I'll put those changes on the website when I receive them.
