[Elecraft] Almost Perfect RTTY copy

[Radio Repair]

There are two frequencies that I have in memory in my K3 , 8,416..6 and 8473.11.
Both are DATA mode with filters set for 450Hz wide, AFSK A.  WLO switches between 
RTTY and SITOR mode “B”.  SITOR mode “B” is the same as AMTOR mode “B”.   When 
WLO changes to SITOR, I use my Universal M8000 (receive only) communications 
Terminal.  I keep my K3 in RTTY mode and when WLO switches, the K3 is ready to copy 
RTTY.

The news feeds are from Voice of America ITTY service

Hi Jack, 
 
I thought that HF RTTY newsfeeds were gone long ago. Is there much activity
like what you copied these days? And my more curious question, who are such
broadcasts intended for? I used to like listening to the BBC voice
broadcasts on HF but I think they shut them down. Is there much interesting
on HF these days to listen to or decode?
