[GreenKeys] RTTY sigs

[Larry]

It's 2222 GMT here and i hear the signal just at or slightly above the 
noise floor which at this time is less than an S-1.  Above it is a WEFAX 
station.

Using the 30 meter band dipole.  On the 17 Meter dipole i hear nothing, 
no surprises there.


On 14.376 the strongest peak was to the SE from me.  Band noise around 
the 90 deg point almost completely covered the signal. Now when i got 
over in the 300 deg range the signal picked up to an S7 and was pretty 
much in the clear.

Wonder if it's coming out of the NMC or associated facilities on Pt 
Reyes or the NMJ or whatever it is up in Washington.  SIgnal certainly a 
lot stronger with the 20M beam pointed in that direction.
