Ron,
Boy, did you hit the nostalgia button for me. As a teenager and young ham the mid 70s in Charlotte NC, there
was a really progressive "sun up to sun down underground" AM radio station, WRPL 1540 (the Ripple)
that played the rock and roll that the FM stations would not dare to (Frank Zappa, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd,
etc...) and their slogan was "WRPL, Radio with Balls!" which came with a cool poster of just about
every ball you could imagine on it. Innocent, but the message was clear. The ad campaign was so
"risqué" for sleepy ol' Charlotte back then, that the local government partitioned the FCC to shut
them and the ad campaign down. They never did. WRPL eventually faded away because one of the local FM radio
stations (WROQ) converted to album rock and started playing the really cool music late at night and stereo
was much better than mono on AM. I still have that poster some where. You could go to the little studio on
East Morehead St. and sit in the control booth with the engineer, who was also a ham, but I forget the call.
While on the Charlotte in the 70s nostalgia kick, there was the Chronosynclastic Infundibulum, but that is a
different story.... Ahhhh, the good ol' daze.

nice line Neal. "Buy it, use it and seel for your self!"
I have seen no 'major' problems with RTTY as AFSK.
I've learned to compensate for PWSDR VFO and Contest Software VFO not
aggreeing. (doing math in my head is not my strongpoint)
There is a 'slight' advantage to FSK in SUPERCROWDED contest settings as
it's a tad narrowrer signal.
But to match Neal;s Line.
"See the ball, feel the ball, BE THE BALL".
