[RTTY] Distortion

[Michael Furfari]

I agree with Jon's feelings that we should let each other know.....I 
remember way back in 1967 when I was a Novice and had a homebrew CW rig on 
the air getting reports of a bad chirp...I think I even got one of the 
dreaded OO cards.....and when I first got on RTTY I had a bad signal from my 
KAM Plus and someone, can't remember who, told me about it on the air and I 
listened to it and got it fixed.....if we aren't willing to listen to 
someone telling us a problem with something we are doing then we will never 
advance our knowledge and skills....my 2 cents.
