[R-390] More dweedle-dweedle

[Scott, Barry (Clyde B)]

I was getting printable text, but it was more like

MMMOOOOTTTTVVVOVOMMMOMVV

(Mad cow?)
I figured encrypted text would not look this way.  If I started playing around with the data-bits and baud-rates, I could get other weird patterns, but nothing that looked "right".

I listened to 10130kc at lunch and I didn't hear that RTTY station.  Either it is not broadcasting or the conditions aren't right for it.  It's raining here and that seems to have an effect on my pitiful 20-meter inverted VEE in the attic.
