RTTY, or teletype uses a keyboard and monitor,
same as you use on this newsgroup.
You don't need to know a dot from a dash,
because it doesn't use them.
It's more of a hissing, warbling sound in a speaker,
not something the human ear could ever readily decode.

As an addendum - imagine yourself with large thick cold stiff gloves
on your hands. Now imagine that your hands and your mind don't
communicate properly. Then, place them a paddle or a keyboard, and try
having something sensible come out the first time.

You'd be me.

It's OK - I'm happy :-)
