[RTTY] New RTTY set up - comments pse.

[Graeme Caselton]

Many thanks for the comments Vladimir. I suspect that I will stay
with AFSK unless there is a very compelling reason to go to FSK. I'll
have a play with the set up over the next few days and get everything
ready for the next context.

As for google earth, took a look at the QTH and it's quite scary. A
suburban terraced house and small garden being overshadowed by a
5-ele 6m beam. Oh for the delights of those contestors with acres of
land and a well sited supply of tall trees.

Cheers

Graeme.
