Sad news for RTTY SWLs, WLO’s newsfeed at 8473 kHz is gone, replaced with weather broadcasts. The weather broadcasts alternate between RTTY and SITORB, just as the news feed did, but that’s the end of the similarity.
Well, it was nice while it lasted. Sigh.
The Gory Details:
Station WLO transmitting from Atlanta, Georgia
8474.5 KHz
Lower side band
1.5 kHz offset center
170 Hz shift
Normal shift
45.45 baud
RTTY alternating with SITOR-B
