All:

This is my formal reports as such on GMSK reception today..
During the afternoon run; I had no luck at all in receiving
Jay - WD2XNS on 136 KHz in GMSK-15 mode.. That wasn't the case 
later on however when he ran on 478 KHz in GMSK-31.. The band
opened up nicely, and he was almost 100% copy from then on..
I switched down to 136 KHz to see how I could do with WD2XES..
John was in GMSK-15 mode, and was reporting 1 Watt ERP from the
antenna.. The copy was not the best, but was good enough to
easily make out what was being sent.. As I told John in the email
I sent him direct, for some reason, which could be on my end ??, 
copy just seemed to disintegrate, and turned into gibberish..
It never recovered for over an hour.. 
Thanks Jay, and John for running a " new to me " mode..

73 all:

Andy - KU4XR
