RTTY or "Radio Teletype" is a FSK mode that has been
in use longer than any other digital mode (except for morse code).
RTTY is a very simple technique which uses a five-bit code to
represent all the letters of the alphabet, the numbers, some punctuation
and some control characters. At 45 baud (typically) each bit is
1/45.45 seconds long, or 22 ms and corresponds to a typing speed
of 60 WPM. There is no error correction provided in RTTY; noise
and interference can have a seriously detrimental effect. Despite
it's relative disadvantages, RTTY is still popular with many radio
amateurs.
