2012 CQ WW RTTY Contest Plaques, Mark Aaker, K6UFO
 
Some exciting enhancements have been created this past year that are of
great interest to RTTY contesters.  David, G3YYD, developed the 2Tone
decoder that has been very successful for many users in out-performing MMTTY
and other decoders in marginal signal conditions.  Weak signals, flutter,
multi-path, light QRM and other situations will often print clearly in 2Tone
while MMTTY and others will print partial or completely garbled text.
Moreover, 2Tone takes significantly less CPU cycles, providing better
performance for users who run multiple parallel decoder windows.
 
Two other enhancements that are in early development will also be presented
.  First is Adaptive Receiving that Larry, K8UT, has been experimenting
with.  Second is RCKSkimmer developed by Walter, DL4RCK, which brings the
amazing capability of CW Skimmer to the RTTY world.
 
The forum will wrap-up with a short presentation of plaques for the
attending winners in various categories of the 2012 CQ WW RTTY Contest.

Hope to see many of you there!
