[RTTY] bartg sprint 75 sv1dpi

[Roger Cooke]

It's true what Don says. However, these problems can be overcome to 
some extent
by just tweaking the macros slightly. One good example happened to 
me a few times
in this last contest. I sent my report and then waited for the 
return. All I got was a
very short burst, which was his number sent once. QRM covered it 
each time and I
ended up asking for repeats, once I had to ask four times. Now if he 
had sent his
number four times, I would probably have received it. It's still 
faster than 45 and a lot
slicker so time wasted is minimal. I ended up modifying my macros in 
the middle and
sent my exchange four times. I didn't have any repeat requests after 
that.
   75 is difficult on 80 metres however, different band altogether, 
but still manageable.

Lots of fun though at that speed!

The transmissions are so short that by the time you get a signal tuned while S&P, the message has ended and you have to wait for another transmission.  And as Kostas noted, it is extremely hard to print weak stations.  Signals that would be difficult to print at 45 baud, are impossible to print at 75.  This was particularly true Sunday when I was on 15 meters.  I could tell there were many of what I believed were European stations calling, but I couldn't print anything.
