Comments:

My second try with 2Tone decoders this week.

Lots of setup needed to get ready. The NCCCSprint module doesn't 
really support RTTY, so I started a new log in the North American Sprint 
and did all the setup and messages. It won't handle Dupes well, and I'll 
have to manually calculate score.

I had had a hard time getting 2Tone to stay running, even though it 
worked last week. If I tried to change any settings it would freeze up.  
I finally reinstalled and reset the path and it started working without 
freezes. 

I watched carefully for the problems I had last week:
- failed to decode some loud easy short calls, esp. W1UJ
- AFC fighting me when fine tuning, and
- squelch spits out saved garbage characters.

I still saw all the same problems. 

Activity seemed low. And I have a hard time getting into working dupes, 
so I don't rack up the big numbers. Really boring, and not good practice.

Going to Visalia next week, see you again after that...
