Abstract
While contemporary technologies and modulation techniques and protocols like LoRa (Low Power Long Range) have become popular telecommunications techniques in the Internet of Things (IoT), tried and true methods of digital telecommunications techniques like Radio Teletype (RTTY) may prove useful in telecommunications education and practical applications. In this paper and to that end, I recommend reconsidering RTTY for purposes of telecommunications education because of its historicity and durability, its simplicity and perceptibility, and its hardware interoperability.
