Hello Rik,
Sorry, but wasn't able to answer earlier.
Well actually, please let me know when you will prepare the next RTTY test
transmission and I will try to decode your signals. I am looking forward to
verify a new mode.

Hello Gerhard,
I will do a last transmission at 22:00 UTC
Otherwise we can try tomorrow (WX permitting)
