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.

73, Steve KW3A
