The PSk signal at 2500 Hz is actually the APRS frequency with 300 Bd AFSK.
I had ENORMOUS pactor signals when in Friedrichshafen on the Bodensee, and 
I could only work pskmail servers in Eindhoven and Stockholm when the pactor 
stations were silent.

You will have LOTS more fun when you use a 500Hz or 300 Hz filter in the FT897D.
Maybe we can set up a sked with Wolfgang, as soon as I am at home again 
(probably monday).
I can then put a signal on PI4TUE for a longer time.

Even if you cannot actually hear the serer you might try the other way around,
send a beacon or a ping (ctrl-P) to the server and look at the log on the 
website:
http://131.155.192.174/PI4TUE.php if you are being received... Use several 
frequencies 10 Hz apart.  That could help a lot to get you started.

UT1HZM can regularly send beacons through PI4TUE, so it is not really deaf.
