I guess we never met, Jim.  I can copy CQ, 599, and my callsign in Baudot
RTTY.  

Many years ago, there was a Dxpedition I was calling.  There was a selective
fade when he responded to the pileup and it didn't print.  However, I knew
he came back to me from what I heard.  When he came back with the TU, my
callsign printed  to confirm it.  Baudot RTTY is slow.  I can copy CW at
almost twice its speed, but that isn't a requirement, as I know a few other
RTTY contesters who can also recognize their calls on RTTY.
