[RTTY] I had a reply in the contest from a fellow using cw for rtty

[Arliss]

Yes, I remember that.  That was back in the days when I had a 
Model 15, a CV-89A TU and the Drake B Twins.

Besides IDing on RTTY, you were required (on HF) to ID with 
telegraphy.  You could use CW or FSK telegraphy.  The simplest 
way to comply was to generate CW by keying your mark signal, but 
that would usually produce garbage print on the receiving end. 
To avoid that, lots of us used narrow shift (20 Hz or so) FSK for 
IDing.
