[Elecraft] RTTY: best frequencies and times? SWL bands?

[wayne burdick]

Hi all,

Just for fun, I occasionally eavesdrop on RTTY (Baudot) QSOs. There's a 
lot of activity on RTTY, but it seems to come in sudden bursts -- 
contests, mostly. In the afternoon/evening I always hear a few stations 
on 20 and 40 m.

What I'm wondering is if there are popular ham-band RTTY "watering 
holes" (times and frequencies) that I don't know about. I haven't 
actually transmitted yet in this mode yet; I want to hang out and 
listen for awhile longer.

Also, does anyone know where I can find a current list of RTTY stations 
operating outside the ham bands? I'm interested in trying various 
modes, shifts, and baud rates.

73,
