[RTTY] Contest this weekend

[David G3YYD]

75 Baud does require as you would expect wider filters, which means signal
to noise ratio is 2.2 dB lower than the same signal at 45.45 baud. This may
not sound much but on a marginal signal the difference in character error
rate is about 5 times. The character error rate vs signal to noise ratio is
an exponential function. An extra 2dB of SNR will make a noticeable
difference. Yes 2dB extra signal strength will substantially reduce the
repeat rate.

However it is multipath propagation that really does for 75 baud compared to
45.45 baud. Often multipath has differential delays that will take out 75
baud while 45.45 will carry on without any problem.

I wish we would all use 75 baud all the time. what a rush!

And as long as we're talking RTTY contests this weekend, don't forget the
NCJ RTTY Sprint Saturday evening.  Yes, it's a bit weird, but all you need
is a radio and you (well for RTTY just a bit more).  No internet required!
Put those S&P skills to good use!

A great, fun contest, one of my favorites. Don't forget to change MMTTY and
2Tone to 75 baud!!

See you there!
