[RTTY] Poor SO2R Operators in BARTG

[Jeff Blaine]

I agree with Dave.  It's possible they are attending some other band, 
however, they may also have tuning or AFC problems.  MMTTY (for example) 
will fail to decode because you are not tuned properly to the sender (wtih 
AFC off) or if the AFC is pulled by another signal to one side.  Both of 
those can make you pull your hair out as you grumble trying to figure out 
which button you have not pushed or whatever.

You can tell if they are so2r by writing down the call signs, and
checking 3830 tomorrow to see if they enter the expert category.
There's no faking it because of the BARTG band-change limit for
non-experts.

I have seen a lot of cases where even an so1r operator just does
not respond.  They may have terrific local QRN, or have a decode
setting wrong, or perhaps their decode mark/space frequency has
been pulled off nominal.

Jeff WK6I,

You may be right but to me it seemed like he may have been busy
on another band and just had the timer set to continue calling CQ
on the other band.  Nobody can be that deaf for that long.
