I am capable of passing any sort of radio traffic by way of
radiotelgraphy,

I'd like to see you pass a weather satellite photo fax via
radiotelegraphy....

Uh,, Bob, that isn't traffic, It's *data*. I guess if you were really
familiar with radio
you;d know that, wouldn't you?

Uhhh, DICK, you should know that weather data can be passed via many
modes, and that satellite imagery is referred to as wefax or wxsat.

Typically, what is called "DATA" is RTTY.

No, Brian, digital information that is not analog voice is generally known
as data
tansmission.

Not true. There is an incredible amount of digital "traffic" that is
actually
voice. Voice over IP, Voice over ATM, traditional PCM encoded voice, etc.
Once digitized, voice traffic isn't any different than any other digital
information (i.e. data).

Additionally, the term "traffic" is generic as to type/content and
does include any/all types of information transfer...voice, text, video,
image, etc.
