[RTTY] Odd situation

Dick,

I saw you calling a few times over the weekend. One time in particular, you 
were attempting to answer a CQ by S51AF. I believe this was either just 
before or after I worked him on 20 meters at 2035z on May 10th. You were way 
off his frequency. It appeared to be by as much as the shift amount (170 
Hz). In fact, I even transmitted a short message calling you by name and 
mentioning that you were off frequency, but I got no response.

Since I am using a completely different setup here than you, I can't offer 
any suggestions as to why this was happening, but I have worked you in the 
past, and heard you working other stations in the past, with no offset 
problem. Except for the frequency offset,  your signal was clean here. The 
band wasn't that great, but you were perfectly readable when I tuned you in.

Hope you can sort it out without too much difficulty.

73, Bob WB2COY
