Hi,

Put me down for the 21 MHz SO World HP.  I'll get a check off to you

I'm getting my tractor and snow blade ready, again.

Just a reminder that the deadline for Sprint logs is 1st March.

We have well over 900 logs so far, a huge increase on ~700 received in 
2009.
Thanks for the support you give the BARTG contests.

Our HF RTTY contest is just a month away on 20th to 22nd March so 
please make
sure you have that in your diaries.

73,

John GW4SKA
BARTG Contest Manager

Group, a friend of mine has an FT-920 and is trying to get it to work
correctly on AFSK for RTTY. In order for the radio to transmit diddles, 
it
must be in USB. However, every time he changes bands, the radio changes 
to
LSB. I'm sure there is a config that needs to be changed, but I have no
knowledge of the 920. Can somebody point me in the correct direction? 
Many
thanks!
73,
John W9ILY

I use the MTTY plug in for writelog with AFSK in the Mike jack you have 
to
tell writelog that lower side band is AFSK.
I DO NOT USE DIDDLE. and everything works fine.
