> Last PM at 0150 while checking e-mail I decided to do some RTTY CQing on
160.  After a few CQs I was pleasantly surprised to have Claude VE3WQ answer
my CQ.  His signal was a good 57 with the typical long slow fades 160 is
famous for.

miles NW of Ottawa) but I think this again shows that printing an RTTY
signal on 160 is not limived to short range 200-400 mile stuff.  I was
running an old TS-930S in AFSK mode with 100 watts to a compromise 4 square
array (compromise = 4 1/4 wave verticals sloped from a 123 ft tower with 2
radials per element and no ground screen.
