[Lowfer] Name that mode...

[jrusgrove at comcast.net]

Steve

John and Lloyd are 'old hands' at this and have copied all of the modes so far.

Mode 1  RTTY 45 baud / 170 Hz shift
Mode 2  WOLF 10
Mode 3  MFSK8

The fact that the signal is audible, albeit in a 6 Hz BW,  means that you should be able to decode 
some of these modes. RTTY would be a stretch but WOLF 10 should be a piece of cake. Perhaps you 
aren't interested in the digital modes...but it would sure be nice to have a west coast US 
monitoring station active for the various modes. VE7TIL and VE7SL are active but it seems somewhat 
hit or miss with them.
