I copied an arrl bulletin with an asr-33 once - has a pretty good signal
and ok copy but they need a few nulls during carriage return - it would
always print a character over the print during the return trip. I wrote
arrl about that but it dissappeared into the void.

Just checked the arrl.org web site and found: "110-baud ASCII will be sent
only as time allows."
