Hi LF,

Just completed my first 2 way qso on 500 khz with Graham G0NBD & a possible
claim for a first 2 way qso using narrow shift RTTY on 500 khz.

The details are :-

19th July 1807utc to 1832utc
RTTY - 30 Hz shift - 45.5 Bd.
G4WGT - Coppull, Lancashire, UK - 50 mW ERP
G0NBD - Wallasey, Cheshire, UK - 80 mW ERP
Freq - 503.600 khz
My report to Graham - RST 459
Grahams report to me RST 599

Unforntunately the copy was a bit broken due to Grahams RTTY program
crashing on his Windows ME PC but we got complete exchanges & a short chat.
I also had trouble with Tx & Rx in such that I had to use MMTTY for FSK Tx
but I could not get it to Rx so I used MixW218 for Rx & had to keep swapping
from one program to the other.

I have copied some of the text from my screen (the first part had scrolled
off) but it is a bit garbled in many places due to Grahams drop out & me
having to re-sync the Rx program but as you can see we got there in the end.
