[RTTY] RTTY Activity outside of contests

[Neal Campbell]

Hi Mathew

Well, most dx contacts could be automated easily (with less personalization
than even a PSK31 contact) since its signal report, name, qth, ciao-ciao.

The usage of the brag  tape has not diminished and although sometimes
annoying I try to keep interested in the PC configuration on the other side
of the contact!

Just have fun, whether its with macros or sending code with your left foot!
