[RTTY] : Signals that don't decode

[ktfrog007 at aol.com]

At my latitude, 42N, this distortion on 40m is very common, from nightfall until about midnight when it tends to clear up.  The signals sound terrible but the decoders, MMTTY(narrow), MMTTY(wide) and 2Tone(flutter) can usually chew right through them.  To my ears the signals sound raspy and horrible.


I don't know if there's an association with aurora.

It was like they were running AFSK with way too much audio gain into a amp that made it even worst. The same stations were clean on 20 meter so it may have just been weird band conditions.  I had no problem decoding but they sounded terrible.
