[RTTY] Attn RTTY ops

[Jim McDonald]

Terry, AB5K, the AR-Cluster developer, and I are trying an intercom among RTTY ops on the cluster.  We set up a "regional announcement filter" named, aptly enough, RTTY.  An announcement sent in the format:

A/RTTY message

with the actual comments you want to make inserted where I show "message" will go to users who the sysop has set up the RTTY announcement functionality.

I set it these users on my node with that:  W9OL, W5PJR, NN6K, W6WRT, and me.  At least I think that's the list.  Let me know if you want me to add the RTTY announcement capability to your profile if you connect to my node.

The announcement should go to users anywhere who have that attribute set by the respective AR-Cluster sysop.

It should be able to function somewhat like ON4KST's low-band and VHF chat web page at http://www.on4kst.com/chat/start.php.

Give it a try and see how it works.
