[3830] fd rtty observations, kn6ox

[Woods, Eric D PB-edwoods]

Well: 

We brought the extra radio, the TNC (TU for old timers) and the extra
computer for fd rtty.  We forgot the software.  We didn't think about
how we were going to log the rtty q's.  The other two stations were
logging on networked ct v 8.sumpin.

Sooooo, We used procom plus and the :PK-232 manual to actually run in
baudot.  Got out the latest NCJ and followed the examples for the
exchange segments.

Logging?  Since the cw station was down during rtty to maintain 2A
status, the rtty operator would just yell, "20 Meter rtty, W0ABC, 4E ,
Kansas".  The logger would input it under the packet band selection and
make an ALT-N annotation of the band.

The artificial intelligence needed to perform this sequence got stupider
as the 807 cache depleted.

The rates were not high enough to need a spooler between ops either.
