It makes one contact maybe.
There was a wideband RTTY option that was used by an I station where you
essentially did the same thing as you do with FT8, pick a hole and dump
your call the the program would decode the RTTY.
I am sure that programs could be written or exist to make rtty contacts
more automated.

use, decodes one signal at a time, the one I tune in and respond to.
So, at least in my operation, I have to be there and actively engaged."
That's one way to enjoy RTTY. Others use GRITTY.
Try leaving FT8 unattended, and see how many QSOs it makes by itself?
