I've toyed with the idea of trying to do a qso that way, as I do have the ability to transmit RTTY...it's just that you'd have to be down the street for me to receive over the air...haha!  We used to have a RATTSNET that met on 80 meters each night at 8pm Pacific but when they they changed to Olivia, I lost interest as did perhaps others.  Nothing beats the music of the diddle.

So I now know for sure that NC to LA is possible (and that my 60 year old Navy gear will hold up to rag chewing).
