A little history, goes back to the year 2000 :
The RTTYApp code was written to support the WA9XHN Special
Temporary Authority (STA) to establish and operate a 1000-watt
Radio Teletype (RTTY) Broadcast Station on 6994KHz and 13972KHz.
Modes supported were Military, ITA#2, TELEX and ASCII, Baud
rates were 45.45, 50.0, 56.9, 74.4, 100.0 and 110.0. The tables
below were a part of the original source code. George, W7TTY
primarily used military, 60wpm and 100wpm.
The source of the Baudot conversion data I used can be found at:
http://hamradio.sm5sxl.net/text/misc/digsigs.faq
I've re-attached the notes to the code snippit below. Also
renamed the last column, since it shows the mark/space code.
The military column was added by looking at the keyboard of
my own M28.
