OK, I have had my introduction to RTTY 23.  Someone please
explain
it's advantages.  It's just like PSK31 but without error
correction.  Sure,
I've worked some nice stations like N7UVH, UX0FF, ZL2BR,
9K2/KM5FY,
RK6BZ, W1ZT, K4GMH, SW1XV, UW5U, HB9AWS, W9HLY, MM0BQI,
SP1MHV and UA6JR/3... but it was a real struggle.

I'm not really sure what the objective is of this exercise.
Yes, contacts can
be made using RTTY 23 but it takes lots of power and very
narrow filters to
do it.  It's an AFSK mode - enough said.

I'm sorry guys & gals but RTTY 23 appears useless.  Someone
please
kill it and put it out our misery.

Thanks,
Don AA5AU
