Hallo
FT5XO was this morning at 7.00 utc printable in eu on 17m but they logged a
bunch of JA.
The signal did not come up and stead almost s 0 but printable untill I had
to go qrt at 13.00 z.
At that time they worked mostly Eu and sometimes a USA station. I suppose
the rtty station uses a modest antenna and power e.g. 50 w into a vertical.
I did not work the ft5x gang .... dammm, but I will try tomorrow.
The macro's they use could be better: now it is call call 599 , it should
be call 599 call, qrz after a qso is rare.
Despite in cw and ssb they are skilled operators. I have logged them from
10 to 80 m. For 80m I have hang up a extra sloper in the direction and
after 3 hours of calling and listening to a weak signal I made it.

They're on 18104 RTTY working EU. Extremely weak in 3-land.
BTW, I noticed that MMTTY prints barely audible signals much better
using the Fluttered (FIR) profile (don't forget to turn off NET and
AFC.) --
