Default RTTY questions

There doesn't seem to be as much RTTY activity theses days as
there once was. But considering the rise of other HF digital
modes, that's hardly surprising.

Can I see a show of hands (or keyboards) to those of you out
there that still get on RTTY at least occasionally?

Are you running iron or glass TTY machines?

Are you adhering to the standard 170 Hz shift with either a
home brew TU or production TU like a HAL unit? Or are you
using 200 Hz shift with a PK-232 or Kam (as an example)?

When was the last time you were on?

I used to run RTTY back in the late '70s on 145.850 AFSK
back when FM was limited to 146 and above. ;-)

In the '80s I ran a Model 19 table set and later a model 32
with a HAL ST-6000

And yes, I'll admit to getting on a few times with the KAM
in the '90s but I also played with the HAL PCI-3000 card.

Just curious to see what's doing on RTTY these days.
