#RTTY Contesting

RTTY contesting is competition on the HF bands using radioteletype, where software decodes the signal and displays text on the screen. Famous events include CQ WW RTTY and the other major RTTY weekends. The decoder adds its own kinds of errors, such as lost shift characters, noise-induced extra characters and wrong text captured by a mouse click. Good tuning and careful reading of captured calls are essential. The articles under this tag describe these effects and how to avoid them. They also cover mode codes in the Cabrillo file and the review of an RTTY log before submission.
