[RTTY] I may have missed something

[Jamie WW3S]

I think its MMVARI that allows a wide (3 kc) slice to be decoded at 
once......I seem to recall an Italian ham using that on a dxpedtion not to 
long ago, but told everyone beforehand that’s what he was using, and to pick 
a freq and stay there.......if I recall, it was as confusing then as it 
seems to be now.....

I had never heard a DXpedition operate that way. For contests I have
heard it but there unless you are a somewhat rare multiplier I am not
likely to remain on frequency waiting for "Now...". A downside of the
skimmer/Now approach is that it tends to encourage constant calling and
DXpeditions rarely need to encourage that kind of behavior. In a list
operation there are breaks usually to know if I am "on the list" so that
there is not the constant calling (or at least, not as much). Running
from the "other side" my MMTTY window looked like a scope trace of a DC
signal with ripple for 3-4kHz and no break when I called someone. They
are no doubt seeing the same thing.
