[RTTY] Minor chuckle

[John Cashen]

"Did anyone else notice the anti-piracy message AH3D is sending using
K6STI's software? It's obviously Bernie's legal copy which he is using
with a different callsign.
Yes, I know, too much time on my hands. :-)

As far as I know K6STI will still "Licence"  RITTY 4.53 to those who 
contact him by snail mail.  He doesn't upgrade it anymore, but it works 
with Writelog trouble free (within its stated DOS limitations). I'm pretty 
sure that if Bernie had written Brian requesting a licencing module for 
AH3D he would have gotten it right away at no cost.  I have done just that 
in the past.

BTW RITTY's opening Logo states that it is "Copyright 1995-2003".

As had previously been noted on this reflector, RITTY is, argueably, the 
best low signal-to noise rtty "contest" decoder available. I find it works 
very well in high QRM/pileup conditions.  Which makes me wonder why Bernie 
was having so much trouble working a huge 20M European pile spread out over 
10 KHz yesterday at 0600-0800z yesterday (3 Feb). His rate was agonizingly 
slow.   He had done much better and really ran the 15M JA and W/VE pileups 
quite well on earlier days.   Perhaps he failed to put it into the FREEZE 
mode and switch the FLYWHEEL to full on.

73,  John  VK4UC
