[net.ham-radio] a rtty freak is born

   I recently acquired a C64 computer and built the rtty modem
described in the SEP-82 issue of 73.  With my own brand of receive program
the diddles on the air became characters on my screen. It was like learning
morse for the first time. What a thrill to finally make sense out of what was 
previously thought of as 'interference'. I got so hooked on rtty that I could
hardly pull myself away from the shack. In fact I worked so late getting the
system working, that I couldn't find any rtty stations to receive when I'd
make a change in the program. Very frustrating! Now you know the beginnings
of my rtty career. Now I'm working on the transmit part of the program.

Now to the questions:

1.  What I'd like to know is what rtty modulation techniques are being
    used, what are the 'usual' freqs and where on the bands that type of
    operation can be found.
2.  Any tips for a neophyte rtty operator?
3.  What rtty stuff is happening in the SF bay area.
