[RTTY] LSB - USB ON RTTY

When you think about it, in an absolute sense, you are communicating on the 
same frequency. The dial readings on the rigs my not agree, just as using a 
1200/1400 tone pair on USB only tends to distort what appears to be the
operating frequency.

I recall a number of years ago there was a 'center-frequency' concept 
introduced to define the 'frequency of data exchange'. Of course there is an 
offset -- and some rigs can have their display output adjusted.

Just a thought!
