[RTTY] VU4NRO on RTTY - soon

[Barry]

Steve,
Having done PSK in the RTTY Roundup a few times, I agree with you.  
There were several occsaions when I was ready to push F1 again for 
another CQ, not hearing anyone come back to me, but when I looked up 
at the screen, someone printed SOLID.

With the signal from VU4 as weak as it is, copy with PSK will be much 
more reliable.
