[UK-CONTEST] AMTOR it makes sense !

[ALEX LISTER]

Neil/ Roger & co
You must of missed  the delight of running a creed 7 series.
However a real teleprinter running in the housenot good for domestic harmony..
I used a strobe to set to 50 bds with 50 HZ ac mains
Then winding the governor screw 7 1/2 turns for 45 bds.
Used to use Creed 444,s As made by ITT as data printers @ 75 bds on STC designed large TXE4 exchanges.
You did not need an alarm bell to know u had a fault just ear defenders !

But yes 75 bds a good idea . Or even 150 ?
But feel u would cause absolute confusion. Its hard enough guessing speeds with CW software!

More sensible would to run AMTOR in FEC mode for RTTY contests.
If u want an AMT1 I know of several available ??
Perhaps instead of PSK we could run "Throb" ?
If u ever want to do some tests on higher speed RTTY or other data modes let me know.

Why do we stick to 45.5 anyway? Surely 99.9% of RTTY is now computer
generated so a switch to 75 baud would be easy.

There is paint drying and then PAINT DRYING!!!

PSK is bad enough in contests.  I am proposing RTTY move to 75 Bauds. Now
that WOULD liven things up a bit!

Already been suggested Graham; QSP from my Cabrillo file -

SOAPBOX: Another fun session on PSK. How about adding SSTV as a mode too?

Hi All

Usual struggle with PSK last night. Just got a station tuned in then they
disappeared. Quite a few times the station reappeared but on a slightly
different frequency so had retune then they went again before got call, VERY
frustrating. I think a course on the use of NET and AFC is needed by some
stations. Ratio RTTY to PSK was 4:1. 28 RTTY 7 PSK. After the finish, while
my brain was cooling down, I had a ghastly thought, what if the Contest
Committee had another flash of madness and next year decided to combine SSB
with SSTV!!!! now there's a thought, oops maybe I've lit the blue touch
paper.
