Is anybody successfully sending QTCs in WAE RTTY?
Two things happen when I go into Control-Q mode:
1) I can no longer see any text from the TNC. It's as
if the serial port stops receiving data from the TNC.
The serial port seems to send data to the TNC OK, but
there is apparently no RXD. The only way to regain full
communication with the TNC is to power cycle the TNC.
2) It does actually try to send the QTC's properly,
one at a time, just like on CW. The problem is that
it pauses and sends "DE K4RO" using RTTY tones, but in CW!
It is sending DE and the contents of MYCALL. (At first it
sent "DE PK232" untill i changed MYCALL to K4RO.) I don't
really mind the CW ID, but since there is no RX from the
TNC, you can't tell if the station ACKs a QTC, or who is
calling next. So, I've been sending "SRI NO QTC" all weekend.
Sounds like VE3IAY doesn't have it working either, since
I just asked Rich during our WAE QSO two minutes ago... :-)
I realzie this RTTY stuff is low priority, but just wanted
to know if anybody did have QTCs working in WAE RTTY. If I
can gedt them working, I'll have a lot of QTC to hand out.
Also, how does one copy QTC's in TR-Log? I think anybody
can receive them in the RTTY event.
Back to having fun in another RTTY contest using TR-Log.
Oh, and congrats to Tree on the new SS QRP high water mark.
