[RTTY] VK/ZL Backscatter on 15M

[John - vk4cej]

Hello Don..    I was beaming long path..   I aimed the beam short path at
you and you were S3..  when I turned it long path, you were S7 and thats
when I called you...    Unfortunately even at S7 copy was not 100 percent as
I was receiving multipath and that really mucked up the accuracy.
