[GreenKeys] GreenKeys Digest, Vol 85, Issue 16

Wrong shift??...2125 Mark and 2295 Space or 2125 Mark and 2975 Space?..most 
stations using 170 hz shift today.  When I first got on RTTY all the books 
said 850 hz shift, but then, they were old books.  And nobody told me about 
being upside down until I first tried transmitting and, yes, I was upside 
down. 
Upside down?...if using AFSK and Mark is 2125 and space is 2295, use LSB, not 
USB.
