>What a sad state of affairs for the RTTY WORLD. I never thought in 
>50+ years of being an rtty op that i would see this crap being 
>printed. last night i turned the radio off 3 times and just walked 
>away because of the foul mouths of the new soundcard rtty ops.and 
>YES i mean the lowering of standards in ham radio . Yes it use to be 
>to get on rtty you had to really want to do it and put time and 
>efford into getting your rtty station on the air. this day and time 
>the rigs have it build in , the computer sound card software is just 
>plug and play. Yes it made it EZ for new ops but it also took the 
>learning curve out of rtty operations. I left ssb years ago because 
>of the lowering of standards went back to rtty big time was glad to 
>see the AFSK  mode come into HF. looking back now what a mistake. It 
>is plain to see that RTTY and SSB are now on the same level. I did 
>work them on rtty last night about 30 mins before the band dropped 
>out and most of the low lifes had gone to bed or passed out. Sad to 
>say also that a few of the guys were old times  guess they forgot to 
>take their meds. at least there is still CW and SAT ops. Sorry if 
>you do not like what i have to say about the dumbing down of ham 
>radio and bad operators . just hit the delete key.
