[RTTY] Thanks

[Richard Ferch]

I agree with Bill. These days anyone can download free RTTY software and 
get on the air. This sounds to me like a more sophisticated version of the 
shameful trick some people have, especially on 40m, of sending a string of 
dits right on an RTTYer's mark or space tone. Presumably this is a form of 
protest against RTTY signals in the "CW" part of the band. I'm a CW fan 
myself, but this kind of behaviour is deplorable.

73,
