[RTTY] Dayton Hamvention RTTY Contest Forum

[Ed Muns]

My primary reason for using low tones is that they are less stressful to
listen to and much less fatiguing over a long contest period.

For the same reason (less fatigue), I reduce the headphone level because all
my ears need to know is the presence or absence of a signal.  This also
makes it more practical to disable AGC in RTTY mode because there is less
danger in loud signals hurting one's ears.
