I just posted the computed spectrum (again, averaged over the equivalent
of 45 minutes of real time) of 22.725 Hz shift RTTY (I suspect they may be
using a shift that is synchronous to the baud rate of 45.45 baud).

Curious you should cite Terman.  Fred Terman was still alive and very
active as Dean of Engineering when I was at Stanford.  He was my advisor's
advisor's Professor :-).  I am too many generations removed to have
inherited any knowledge from him :-).

I think Terman considered himself a "Radio Engineer."  I was in the
Radar Astronomy group -- but don't ask me anything about Radar or
about Astronomy :-).
