Topband: FT8.

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

  It makes one contact maybe.

There was a wideband RTTY option that was used by an I station where you 
essentially did the same thing as you do with FT8, pick a hole and dump 
your call the the program would decode the RTTY.

I am sure that programs could be written or exist to make rtty contacts 
more automated.
