[RTTY] i THINK I SHOULD APOLOGIZE 2 W3MF

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Don't feel TOO bad Bill, I had a similar incident with my Icom 781. I was running a CW contest and found several signals below 14.000 and thought some of the East Coast Superstations had lost their mind, "one-upping" each other trying to be the lowest signal on the band! It turned out to be overload of the front end of the IC-781... who would have thunk?

I found out just now, that stations I thought were operating above 14.100 
and were reversed, was a image problem in my system.

I figured it out....when a while later I worked up the band and found 
another station loud and reverse above 14.100
and then
another
and another.

Duh...maybe 1, possibly 2, but not a dozen...

Funny part was that there were a few 'right side up' stations there also.
Guess they were actually transmitting there and not one of my radios 
'images'.

Now I have to figure out why my radio led me astray.

Now to go dunk my head....
