News broadcast use of RTTY or SITOR mode B
I've been looking to see if I can find any news broadcasters like
Reuters or AP still using teletype. I have not found any so far. Is anyone aware if commercial broadcasters still using teletype? Thanks, --Bruce |

Nah, this stuff is on satellite these days. I've seen once in a
while receptions of stuff from the Philippines and Argentina, but it's very very rare. 73s Mike Robert Bruce Carleton wrote: I've been looking to see if I can find any news broadcasters like Reuters or AP still using teletype.

Too bad. It looks like SITOR B and NAVTEX would make a good news
clippings distribution method. michael agner wrote: Nah, this stuff is on satellite these days.

I can copy the Coast Guard most any time on sitor B Navtex and their TTY is active too. It hasn't all gone away yet.

That may indeed be true, but the news broadcasts have all but virtually disappeared. dxAce Les Locklear |

As did the press wireless stations (great for morse code practice) they replaced before them Replaced by satellite and RSS feeds on the net. Used to be great fun Having the old Model 15 Reperf clacking away in the shack copying the news wires. The smell of oil and ozone and getting the mews before it was in the papers or on the radio !!! -- Panzer |

You're probably thinking about the NAVAREA warnings and other
maritime broadcasts; yes, they're still very much around - I copied some from USCG Boston last night - but news organizations such as NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX and so on are all gone from HF. 73s Mike Llgpt wrote: Subject: News broadcast use of RTTY or SITOR mode B From: michael agner Date: 9/4/2004 7:02 PM Central Daylight Time Message-id: Nah, this stuff is on satellite these days.

Yeah, I remember talking to a very famous ham about that very subject
many years ago on a 2 meter repeater in the NYC area. He was a reporter during WW2 and worked in the press office, and he recounted to me stories about whole banks of Model 60s clacking away with the news. He used to work for CBS news and is now seen on the Discovery channel from time to time. 73s Mike Panzer240 wrote: dxAce wrote in : That may indeed be true, but the news broadcasts have all but virtually disappeared. dxAce SIGH Yes they have gone the way of the DoDo unfortunately.

Do you actually need a radio that recieves SSB to copy these signals with a RTTY decoder, or can the RTTY decoders still copy them fine even if your shortwave radio can only recieve in AM mode? |
