[3830] W7TI RTTY High Speed Sprint

[Bill Turner, W7TI]

Enjoyed it, same as last year, but I'm having second thoughts about
the usefulness of 75 baud.  Domestic QSOs were ok but Europeans seemed
to be a lot harder to decode than with 45 baud.  

Here in the Pacific Northwest, European signals come through the
auroral zone and always have lots of flutter.  At 75 baud, it seemed
though I had to ask for more repeats than I would have with 45 baud,
even though signals were strong.  Did anyone else have a similar
experience?
