Hi Andrew   Poor propagation may be the problem not you. I am located in West Michigan USA, and have had some days where I cannot hear WWV on any frequency. Add that to local noise problems, and somedays I just find something else to do rather than play radio.   I do have a question for

I'm sitting on the side, laughing my *** off, about this whole RTTY story. On the one hand, a user of a FREE program is insisting that the reply he gets is inadequate; while calling for adherence to a "Standard" that does not exist. The RTTY standard seems to be 'Do it yourself", but some simp

The number of developers of soundcard RTTY software is pretty small, so I think it's reasonable to ask them to make software interoperable with a mechanical TTY. K6STI was concerned about this with his RITTY program and worked out end-of-line processing that is satisfactory. W1HKJ has just done
