Ok Minto
 
Ah the  full  story  'wmr     was  I was  monitoring  tween sdr  and  his  signal  started  , so  I had to    open the  Opera software , switch on the  ft897  .. change the  Ae     and   set  477  op4  .. so  I must of  just   recorded  just  over 50  %  , as the  s/n is  average , then  the  signal  will  show  lower
 
But the  Op system  gives  the  s/n in  2.4 KHz  pass  band  , I think  at  that  time  local noise  was very  high  ...  which  reduces  the  final  s/n level
 
Yes  skip  range   changes  quickly   so  its possible  that  was  also  lowering  the  signal
 
rtty is ok for  a  local  chat  , from multipsk   rtty  is  listed  as  -5 dB  s/n   , the only modes that  really  work  are the  mfsk  based  ones  , but  these  need  audio  to  rf  translation   ,  other  problem is the  interleave  time , qsb on MF is  much longer than  HF , where  most of the  modes are  profiled  for ....packet  would  be  the  best  , may be  we  can  get Stefan to  act  as the  mid-eu  node : )

Graham,
Well it has been an interesting experiment, including writing the RTTY software for the PIC. But I do not think that RTTY will ever be one of the most used modes on 472. Although DSP software (like fldigi) can do magic in decoding even barely audible RTTY signals it is probably too much hit and miss on 472.

My OP4 being only 2 dB down on pa0wmr’s signal is a big surprise. Pa0wmr has a big antenna (I remember something like a 40 x 40 mtr loop, 10 meters high all above water!!) and he is at least 15 dB stronger than me on Twente Web SDR (about the same distance from Twente). There is just more than an hour time difference between the decodes, but could propagation explain 15+ dB?

Yes these beacons  are  deceptive .......but  ros-mf-2   would  print  at  that  level  , needs   sdr  or  audio/rf   translation
 
well  |Ae  hr  is   at the  moment   end fed 40  ft vert ,  2 inch  alloy   tube ,  noise level  is  low  ( local  something  = off ) only  using  the  ft897  , but  I can see  beacon  traces  ,LF of the  Opera  qrg  , so its not  that  bad
 

22:08 477 PA3BCA Op4 -29 dB

20:50 477 PA0WMR Op4 -27 dB

 
Its really  down to  luck and  skip  as to  making   long range qso  on 500  , the  skip  range  changes  , so  you  can have a  qso  in the  window  , before  it  moves  on

Ouch!
 
No RTTY qso with you then on 478 :-)
My antenna is real c**p
On the other hand... I did have several CW QSO’s with EI0CF and SM6BGP so at least something is possible.
THEY however have impressive antenna’s.....

Minto , that's  + 1 dB  from the  bottom !

Might have been me...
I can however decode my own signal via Twente WebSDR.
As for rtty settings:
My PIC program now uses: SendRTTY(478160, 50, 85);
So space freq = 478160, 50 baud, shift 85 Hz so mark freq is 478160+85 = 478245

One  low  level  rtty  signal  monitored  at  tween-sdr   , but  not  able to attempt  decdoe 
 
What  was the  final    shift/baud  rate  +   qrg    ( mid  tone ?  Mark qrg ? dial  set  usb  + audio  tone  , audio  tone mid  band  , audio tone Mark ? channel  mid  qrg  )
 
or just  set  wspr-2  and  retire   to  pub  ?

Eddie,

I just installed the program. Works. Of course it works, it is a Windows version! ;-)
I thought of you when I read this in a mailing I received earlier.

We make do with Windows, but it isn't perfect. In fact, Windows computers can be extremely annoying. They're full of all sorts of annoying features that just get in our way and slow us down, distracting us from getting work done or doing whatever else we want to do. We'll help you disable some of the worst Windows annoyances.
My sentiments entirely and one day it has to go to be replaced by something modern.
Just mentioned in passing no debates please. :-)

Now, are you prepared to listen for me? This evening i would like to make a QSO, if this is possible. However the data rate is quite high so i assume you need a relative high power to keep the error rate low.
Yes I will listen for you no problem, let me know on here when you want to try. Yes the data bits do not stay long in the same place so it is for you QRO guys or short distance and medium distance with lifts for the QRP'rs.

Which baud rate and frequency shift is recommended and which frequency?
Follow Gary and be compatible seems sensible, Baud rate used is 50 shift 85 Hz QRG 478.200KHz set you baud rate and shift in Menu - MODE - RTTY - Opions at the bottom of the list.

I look forward to seeing you sigs.
