[GreenKeys] Made a few contacts on the RTTY contest

[Jeff G]

Ahh I totally forgot about the here is drum...the one in mine is still
coded to the prev owner. Wonder if I can 3d print one.

I ended up making a few more contacts; a couple in Ontario as well.

One weird thing I'm running into with the Dovetron TU - it seems the cross
display and the "VFO"s on the front aren't super calibrated; I'm sure they
prob need some love but it seems like if I have the radio in data mode
(Yaesu FTDX-10), I -really- have to fiddle with it to get it to decode. If
I use a lower freq range, like centering on 1500, it works great. (I set
one of the pre-selectable ranges to that for playing on 2m repeater). As
such I just left it there and used the spectrum on the radio (and/or
Fldigi) to tune in the signals.
