If you have perfect pitch, it is essential! :-D

Apparently I do, since I've never met anyone who is as picky about pitch
as I am. When I was doing RTTY, I had a scope, but it was just something
to watch that was neat looking, I could even tune in FDM stuff by ear. I
got a 5" scope at a pawn shop not too far from where the old Universal
store was for $60. It had a blue filter on it, and visitors were always
impressed by the giant + sign.

I miss the RTTY stuff. I did have about 5 years of that and FAX before a
lot of the good stuff disappeared in January 1990, and about 10 years
later, a lot of SITOR stuff was gone too. There was some really funny
stuff on the marine channels. I have a huge, like 20 feet long, printout
of a list of "issues" on a cruise ship, including the chief engineer
going nuts and attempting to attack people with a wrench. The "issues"
ranged from not enough lifeboats, and the ones they had were rotten, the
food coolers were almost dead, and a bunch of food had spoiled. There
were no life preservers, no fire extinguishers, and on and on, and on.

After a while, I thought, "Why don't they sink the damn thing?"
