[GreenKeys] Rtty monitors

[telegrapher at att.net]

Up on an 8.4 mc frequency which i think is operated by the Canadians, 
when the propagation is right there is a rtty signal underneath them and 
just off to the side that sounds like it's 50 baud or what the old La 
Prensa sounded like..  I've not heard it loud enough to make copy but La 
Prensa and WBR70 out of Miami at 100 wpm were my favorites.  That one 
was good for working a 100 wpm machine in after a good cleaning and 
lubrication session.  Sure made you aware if there were any adjustments off.
