Dunno about USA, but here down-under you'd get strung up by the nuts if 
you tried that on a voice repeater; for starters it would likely be 
illegal.

That said, there was a mixed voice/RTTY repeater in Sydney; I have no idea 
whether it's still operating, as RTTY (on other than HF) is all but dead 
and I'm no longer in Sydney.

Quickly checks the callbook: nope, VK2RTY is gone...

(Here in Oz, repeaters are separately licenced and are administered by a 
club or other organisation; they, along with beacons, have the callsigns 
VKnRxx.)
