[RTTY] Interesting Buro SWL Card

[Douglas Hall]

It's my understanding that distortion due to multipath and selective 
fading is quite severe on 160m, making 45 baud FSK  more difficult to 
copy than on the higher frequencies. I'm just repeating what I've heard 
- I don't have a great deal of experience on 160m RTTY.
