Wow Steinar. This really tells the true story about your (and mine) love for
RTTY (stoneage/museum,power wasting,polluting KW) KAANTEST MODE. TTY was
created for cables, not radio, I believe. Hi.

I know this is out of fashion, but I really like PSK31, for its narrow
bandwidth and effectiveness with low power. It was the first mode I ever did
where I could have a QSO with a signal burried by the noise. I like some of
the newer modes, and am happy to see the popularity of Olivia and
My first exposure to RTTY was an old genuine teletype machine with a crummy
interface. It was heavy, made a lot of noise, smelled great and I should never
have gotten rid of it.
As for CW, I learned it well enough to pass the exam. I used it only for MS. I
suppose I could relearn it.

Well, old modes like rtty has its charm, but as the ultimate contest
mode it makes more trouble for the ham community when it is flooding the
hole band, than fix frequency modes like ROS.
The only problem with ROS is its developer, with his strange behavior.

And the hundreds of people who take part in the major RTTY contests would all
operate on three fixed frequencies how, exactly?

I had 3 interruptions from 3 different stations during an Oliva 8/500 net last
night on 80m within about a 5 minutes timespan.
And, BTW, I know for damn sure they could see and hear my signal as I switched
to RTTY at 50w on all stations and repeated the frequency is in use until the
moved.
Hi all,
I know this is a little of topic, but can anyone tell me what this noise is?
We
are getting this interfeafence on one of our repaeters on the input
(144.850) and whatever it is, it opens the PL (123.0) and floods the repeater.

I'm not in anyway saying that what happened was OK but
after all it was a contest. Not like it happens all the time.
But look at the good side. Lucky it was not a CW contest.

One of 2 things come to mind.
1) a very weak station trying to get into the repeater.
2) strong RF.

I agree. And while I have little or no interest in contesting, I can appreciate
it as being a big part of amateur radio and does have value in practice and
experience in understanding exchanges and band conditions/propagation. And for
a great many people, it's just plain old fun.
But,
We had some very serious interference with a Pittsburgh repeater that was a
result of Cable TV leaks. Comcast made a valiant effort and actually found some
of the problem spots but it came back. I think it was CSPAN 2 audio, if I
recall correctly. In any case, we wound up having to switch
I think cable channel E is one of the usual culprits on the leaky coax. At
least it used be when I lived on a street with cable TV. It is all DirecTV for
me now.

Let me get this right. You want a station to ask if the frequency is in use.
That is understandable except he will be on RTTY and you are on another sound
card mode. Many times stations do not even have the audio running now. They
are just looking at a digital display and clicking on the
No. I'm simply asking that ops look or listen on the freq before the transmit.
The fact that these ops moved off freq after I put out several long lines of
the freq is in use on their mode at 50w proves the fact that if they would
have just had the common sense and courtesy to take a minute to
I was taught to listen first, then transmit. Hard to listen with the AF gain
all the way down. Once one is established on a frequency, turn it down, if you
QSY, listen again.
