Does someone know what the baud rate of RTTY 23 is?  I think
most people are saying that the shift is 23 Hz.

I would not classify what we use on 45 baud Baudot RTTY to
be narrow shift.  It has a ratio of shift to baud rate of
3.7 or thereabouts.

However, if RTTY 23 is operating at 45 baud, then, indeed,
it is narrow shift with the shift to baud rate ratio of
0.5.

I was "between airports" during the RTTY 23 contest and
didn't have a chance to record any of the signals.
