Oh, no, wait...it was the other way around!
Sunnuvagun!
I'm not too concerned with what other radio services do. I'll continue
to enjoy the use of morse. I do hope that's all right with you.
In actuallity, the other radio services are abandoning RTTY in droves.
Too many mistakes. Too unreliable.
Of course the World's Greatest Professional Radio Engineer hasn't
addressed that.
I can only assume that is because the LAST time he had any significant
exposure to any message handling on HF was in 1950-something at A-something-A,
a rear area radio relay station at which he was not even an operator...just a
mechanic...so says HIS oft-repeated MOS.
