Looking forward to what will be a regular #RTTY net on the #W8FSA 146.92 repeater in Ypsilanti (St Joes). Al #K8WXQ is net control. The first scheduled net was yesterday 2024-03-04, the next one is next Monday 2024-03-11 at 700p Eastern.
This starts 60 minutes before the #ARROW net on #W8RP 146.96 Monday nights 800p.
When I did this last I used #DroidRTTY to encode/decode, will be looking for RTTY software that can run on my MacBook Air (either MacOS or iOS worth a try).
Operating notes: RTTY on 2 meters using DroidRTTY.

Thanks to #K8WXQ for the help in setting up RTTY.
Sent CQ CQ CQ DE W8EMV W8EMV W8EMV PSE K and my signal was decoded OK by two stations! My RTTY correspondents first reported that I had mark and space reversed so I hit the toggle setting in my DroidRTTY to swap those in my sending and after that all was well.
Next challenge, the cell phone is down to 3% battery, did find a cable to plug it in so hopefully I can get charged up for another try.
Still figuring out #DroidRTTY beyond sending macros.
I received CQ CQ CQ DE K8WXQ ON THE 14692 REPEATER RYRYRYRYRY via #RTTY decoded with #DroidRTTY acoustic coupling from the Android phone to my Kenwood TH22-AT HT.
Tried to transmit to the #W8FSA repeater from home, but my HT doesn't have enough power from the comfy chair to get in. Next step will be the shack in the attic with the same HT.
