Both 8433 and 12.631 are comming in fine Near Salisbury, NC.   I did not 
turn on the rtty equipment but was copying it just fine on an Icom 746 with 
an off center fed antenna about 125 feet long and at 50 feet high.  Also 
could be heard almost as strong with an 80 meter dipole about 20 feet up.
Seems to be decoding the best with the Icom about 100 hz higher in 
frequency, but it could be the rig as I was not using an external 
demodulator.
