[RTTY] Copying RTTY in your head

[Barry]

Yes, Andrew, you've been doing RTTY too long :.)
Same for me - I can recognize (I don't know if COPY is the right 
term) my callsign, 599 and CQ without a problem.  There have been 
times in RTTY pileups where the DX came back to someone, but it 
didn't print on the screen - I knew it was me by the sound of it!
