It's interesting that you don't hear much, Jeff. In the contesting
world a lot of people get angry at the rtty'ers for taking up a lot of
bandwidth.

Anyhow, I use RTTY, but do it via computer. I usually use 200 shift.

The mode is okay, but I have one small complaint, which actually
extends to other modes. T mny abrtns! The thing I like about PSK31 is
that we type mostly english. We do the standard 73's and sk, which
although not really related to the mode, is kind of ingrained into
Hams by now, but for the most part type the words me mean into the
machine the same way they are spelled in the dictionary. Just a minor
rant. Otherwise I like the mode just fine.

I understand that during the heyday of machine RTTY, they used to send
pictures that we computer people called "ascii art"
