Howard,
All the modes you mention are different, but I'm really not familiar
with them all. I think there are websites that give audio clips of
each, but sorry I don't have a link.
If you want to hear psk, listen between 14.070 and 14.073 ssb. Sounds
like a high pitch hum with a warble. For RTTY, listen above 14.080 ssb
or FSK. Sounds like a lunatic with a xylophone. There is almost
always psk going on, RTTY less so, but the NAQP RTTY contest will be on
tomorrow and there should be a lot of RTTY activity.
Like other modes, there can be long QSO's or short exchanges. What
you get from your screen reader can vary depending on how lucky you are,
what screen reader, how it is set up and how much you want to manipulate
the keyboard.
