I agree about your ASCII comment but as far as RTTY goes, just
about anyone can copy it with machine (as I still do) or by computer.
Did you ever notice that the ARRL bulletins still to this day put a
CR/LF at the end of a 70 letter line. Still a lot of machines out
there still working after
Hi John,
I was just getting relicensed about the time that ASCII was approved for
ham radio as a major breakthrough for advanced technology. I asked one
of my long time digital friends to explain what this meant. He said that
after a very short time, it was quickly realized that 110 baud ASCII
In about 1979 I had a DGM electronic keyboard and display setup. It
also sent and received ASCII besides decoding RTTY and CW. Software
programs were transmitted on the ham bands and I remember receiving
many of them letter perfect. There was even a British Broadcast
station that sent ASCII

It seems not so robust and more prone to errors. It requires the correct
decoding of 7 bits vs 5 bits on Baudot.
I read the same in old QST's.

I think it had to many errors vs RTTY.
And the lack of a machine.

I recall that when the FCC first authorized the use of ASCII code for
RTTY in addition to Baudot in 1980, the ham radio press made it appear
that this was a really big deal.
I've Googled information on ASCII RTTY, and find no indication that is
being used to any significant extent. ARRL states
