[CQ-Contest] RTTY contesting; filters

[dimitri]

Hi Jim,

You're right, but during contests, my default filters are 300 hz with the FTDX5000 and 250 hz with the IC7600, 3 decoders for each transceivers and the results are between  0,1 and 0,3 % of calls and/or exchanges copied incorrectly on CQ contests for around 2000 QSO so you can do it narrower with correct results ;-)
Don't forget that it's harder to keep guys farther of your run frequency when you're low power....
