FT-8 and RTTY while both using radios hooked to computers, (unless you use a
Model 28) are significantly different in practice.
I'm not an RTTY fanatic but I do have 255 countries confirmed and a DXCC
certificate that says "RTTY" on it. I won't repeat how FT-8 is used but will
point out that when I operate RTTY, I tune the band looking for signals, I
determine the RX/TX frequency (frequencies if split), I determine when to call
and I determine what to send. Sounds like ham radio to me.

Curious. If it is not Ham Radio then why is my K3 transmitting and receiving
the signals? Hmmm. I guess RTTY is not ham radio either.
