[RTTY] Signals that don't decode

[Jeff Stai]

I heard them too, it's hard to remember from the heat of the moment, but
you may be right about the 850Hz shift. I remember seeing something that
made me think that.

I also got told a couple times I was inverted - whilst running, mind you ;)
I guess we were ALL upside down!
