[RTTY] RTTY Pileups AFC or RIT?

[Dave Hachadorian]

I had occasion to get on for the last 45 minutes of the 
BARTG contest with a new callsign (K7ABC). The new callsign 
generated a sizeable pileup and it was a lot of fun. I had 
AFC OFF and was manually tuning the RIT to peak the loudest 
station in the XY scope and headphones.

My question is: Would I have been better off using AFC to 
sort out the stations in the pileup? Any other thoughts on 
the best way to sort out an on-frequency pileup (not 
split-frequency)?
