Here is an example of a monitoring report from the World Utility News 
newsletter of Jan 2003.  It reports a press station on RTTY.  I didn't 
think there were any left but apparently there is this one:

"
::: SUNA Khartoum Over Christmas Mark Zavatsky in Connecticut posted a log 
and some queries in respect of Sudan News Agency (SUNA) Khartoum's 19463 
kHz press transmisssion - yes one of the very few still in existance. 
Subsequent monitoring has produced the current information. Transmission 
mode: RTTY // 50bd Normal 140Hz shift. Transmission slots at 0900 French 
1000 English 1500 French 1600 English. The marker is 
zczc..........zczc..........zczc..........zczc..........zczc and a couple 
of lines of RYs. The slot is 25-30 minutes long and can be slow to get 
underway with long marker period down to virtually no marker. Frequency 
stability varies a little including the shift. Trafffic usually averages 
two items but occasionally sends none. The SUNA ID is in the item header.
