[RTTY] Upside down

[Gary AL9A]

Just answered my own question.  I went into MMTTY Option(O)/Setup 
MMTTY(O)... and on the Soundcard tab changed the receive soundcard from my 
microHAM CODEC to the internal sound card in my Dell laptop.  I then played 
the wav file with Windows Media Player and the diddles decoded in MMTTY with 
no problem.

As I watched MMTTY decode the last couple of contacts in the contest I was 
getting ready to hit the REV button to decode the gibberish I had seen 
during live reception.  Much to my surprise the gibberish did not appear and 
a call that had previously not been decoded with the WriteLog MMTTY plug-in 
was now printing on the screen.  I then went into WriteLog again and played 
back that part of the recording with the WriteLog player.  Again, the 
gibberish did not print and I was able to see the call on the screen.  Not 
sure what happened or why it did not print live but does print from the 
recoding.  I checked my general logger and I have worked the call several 
times before, but all of them were on SSB.  It may be he has just started up 
in RTTY.  I will drop him an email and see if it was him who was trying to 
contact me several times in the contest.

73,
Gary AL9A
