[RTTY] Intentional QRM on 7O6T 17M

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Congrats.  Try it from the West.......... On Rtty we have to get through 
the EU and the East Coast Walls.

Most logging software will set the split if it is spotted that way.  
Most of the problems were guys tuning and forgetting which vfo they were 
transmitting on or left to go work something else and came back and 
forgot to hit the split.   The flagrant jamming has gone away for the 
most part on 17.

I use Commcat and really like it.

To each his own.

On SSB they don't even seem to spend any time trying to work the DX.  They spend time chatting amongst themselves  on the DX frequency trading what they think are snarky comments.
