Following a question from Joe, ZS5S I remind you all that these notes           
are not only for old fashioned RTTY, but also for the newer modes like          
Amtor (ARQ), Pactor (PTC), and Clover (CLV).  Reports from these modes          
are greatly appreciated.                                                        
                                                                                
Our information this week came from ZS5S, W2JGR, WB2CJL, SP5AA, CT1XK,
