[RTTY] looking for the person that helped WB5AAA

[David Levine]

Just for anyone's info, the below extract was from MMTTY' log it can keep.
The time as Charles noted is when it determines a switch from send to
receive. The text is what MTTY decoded.

As an AFSK user up until this weekend, I didn't really care about USB vs LSB
on the rig. I just used the Reverse button in the software. As a point of
info, in MMTTY, I needed to enable the reverse button when I was in USB. In
DM780 which is what I casually used, I needed to enable the reverse button
if I was in LSB. 

When I used DM780 for RTTY (non-contesting), at least in the waterfall
displayed, my AFSK signal appears to me to dead on top of the one it was
reading in the waterfall I clicked on to "tune" to it. I can't see how it
looked to the other operator but I can tell in the waterfall when folks are
"zero beat" with the other station. 

Unless I had my radio's FSK filter ratcheted down, MMTTY seems to do a very
admiral job of decoding signals that look a bit more like an x then a nice +
on the screen.

I have noticed a lot of station's calling off freq for some time now.
I think it must be those AFSK USB stations. Sometimes they are close enough
for RITTY to grab them. I talked to a few during the week using afsk usb and
multi-mode software that are off freq. Must be a setting somewhere in the
software when they change from psk to rtty. I always thought the tradition
was to run AFSK in LSB. In the case below the station was to close to
another one running and I did not go down and make the contact. The time
mentioned below is not transmitted by me and must be inserted by David's
software.
