I, at one point, could read baudot tape almost 100 percent.  Thats back when 
that was all a dealt with, on almost a day-to-day basis.  I also could pick up 
my and the base stations call signs, when I was an embassy communicator.  The 
RYRYRY was used simply to insure the TD (transmitter Distributer) was working 
on all pistons.  R put together with Y, insures that each hole passes the 
reader and is properly transmitting since one of them has holes 1/3/5 and the 
other 2/4 .  The space character was also easy to pick up, when there were 
several put together.
