Off Topic, because I am actually serious this time: I think that, with 
enough time on the bands, most guys would eventually get where they could 
copy a little rtty by ear. The CQ is easy to spot after you have heard a 
few thousand, as is your own callsign and the RY string. This tells me it 
could probably ALL be copied just as well as high speed CW if a person 
actually practiced it.
