An LF 'RTTY type waveform' already exists - Jason ! 'Normal' RTTY, even
at the narrowest shift / baud rate for any of the standard software, would
be far to wide to be sociable on LF.

As so few stations have linear power amplifiers, I wonder if
"keyboard activity" (particularly for "local ragchews") could
be encouraged by using an "old" mode such as fsk(rtty?) ?
Many of us have the necessary software (some may still have
the hardware!!).
