I just came across an interesting tidbit - in WW2 the German Lorenz SZ42
encrypted 50 baud RTTY used three simultaneous tones each for mark and
space - providing diversity to overcome fading
*Mark* 900Hz, 1620Hz, 2340Hz
*Space* 540Hz, 1260Hz, 1980Hz

At the bottom of this page are some audio files to hear tri-tone and
regular RTTY,
