Doing a search on the web, I've run across a number of articles about the technical aspects of RTTY -- baudot code, mark/space, etc. Does some sort of practical operating manual exist -- i.e. how to carry on a ragchew, how to work a DX pileup, where is all the activity anyway, etc? I guess with 180 countries worked in 18 months, I'm not exactly the target audience, but I know there are others out there who could benefit.
