[Mldxcc] K1N

[Robert Hess via Mldxcc]

Just wondering how the RTTY guys are doing this.  A decoder on the second receiver?  I didn't try to work them on RTTY but in the past I have just listened for a carrier dropping off about the same time the DX responds.  Not very scientific, I know.

Lots of people report this, but it rarely works for me.  Example:

K1N : (In the clear!) K1N UP

K6GT watches a massive wad of signals covering about 5kHz on the P3.  Usually it's 
a solid block, but sometimes a comb.  Even using a second receiver, it's very difficult 
to find 'where to transmit.'  I usually watch for the comb, and then try to wedge my 
signal in between the teeth.  

Oh, I got 'em on 40 CW, but it was more like luck than having 'found where to 
transmit' by using the P3 and/or second receiver.

Like they say, it's better to be lucky than good.
