I was in the RU for a short time this weekend, my first RTTY contest in
my 40 years being licensed. My station is a Ten Tec Orion 565with lots
of filters(2.4, 1.8, 500) running v3.030 firmware and the latest version
of Writelog.
I learned alot, but have even more questions.
1- what's the normal bandwidth to use? I left it between 1500 and 2 kHz,
not knowing any better.
2- How does one monitor their own (FSK) signal to see how good or bad it
is.
3- At some point, and I don't remember when, the vertical axis (element)
of the XY tuning "ring" remained vertical but almost always was
squiggly, not a clean oval. It then seemed I couldn't contact anyone!
I haveother questions, but these were on the top of the list.
Thanks& 73,
