[GreenKeys] RTTY Signal

[stephen williams]

Hi Larry,

The stations I think you are referring to are the German Meteo broadcasts out of Hamburg - I use them frequently to demonstrate RTTY functioning if I cannot find someone else on-air at the time.

For your information, I operate an ex-Bundeswehr RTTY station based in the back of a 1962 Unimog radio truck, and have been making successful short-range tests this week on 425 Hz / 50 Baud.  Would anyone out there in rtty - land be interested to listen-in and report my signal via email, or better still, actually exchange comms ?  I can currently put-out about 100W F1/s, so I may be limited with range.

Many set-backs (totally unrelated to radio) this year, so it would be nice to get active again.

Regards

Sometime back i asked if anyone else had heard the rtty signal on 10.100 
Mc.

While tinkering and reading some of the notes for using MultiPSK, i see 
that they show station DDK9 with a power of 10KW using 50 baud and 450 
shift on 10.100.8 Mc.  I'd think east coast stations should be able to 
hear that one if i can hear it out here in the desert of Arizona.  Not 
really strong but i know it's there and it's not a ham signal.

450 cycle 50 baud also applies to DDH7, DDH8, DDH9 and DDk2 & 9.  Don't 
know just where these stations are but maybe a google search would show 
the QTH.

Surprisingly this software lists quite a few different types of signals 
and some of the frequencies.  IT's Freeware if anyone wants to try it out.

Anyone care to give it a shot?  Be interested to see what you print out.
