Émile Baudot designed a system using a five unit code in 1874 that is still in use today.
The US Navy Department successfully tested printing telegraphy between an airplane and ground radio station in 1922.

The US military used radioteletype in the 1930s and expanded this usage during World War II.

An early implementation of the Radioteletype was the Watsongraph, named after Detroit inventor Glenn Watson in March 1931.
Commercial RTTY systems were in active service between San Francisco and Honolulu as early as April 1932 and between San Francisco and New York City by 1934.

"The Amateur Radioteletype and VHF Society" was founded in 1946 in Woodside, NY.
The first two-way amateur radioteletype QSO of record took place in May 1946 between Dave Winters, W2AUF, Brooklyn, NY and W2BFD, John Evans Williams, Woodside Long Island, NY.
In early 1949, the first American transcontinental two-way RTTY QSO was accomplished on 11 meters using AFSK between Tom McMullen (W1QVF) operating at W1AW and Johnny Agalsoff, W6PSW.
The stations effected partial contact on January 30, 1949, and repeated more successfully on January 31.
On February 1, 1949, the stations exchanged solid print congratulatory message traffic and rag-chewed.
Earlier, on January 23, 1949, William T.
By the late 1950s, the contest exchange was expanded to include band used.
For example, the first recorded USA to New Zealand two-way RTTY QSO took place in 1956 between W0BP and ZL1WB. By the late 1950s, new organizations focused on amateur radioteletype started to appear.
Information on how to acquire surplus teleprinter equipment continued to spread and before long it was possible to work all continents on RTTY. Amateur Radio operators used various equipment designs to get on the air using RTTY in the 1950s and 1960s.
The typical frequency multiplication type transmitter that was popular in the 1950s and 1960s would be relatively stable on 80 meters but become progressively less stable on 40 meters, 20 meters and 15 meters.
Prior to that date, an award for working 100 countries on RTTY was only available via RTTY Journal. In the 1950s through the 1970s, "RTTY art" was a popular on-air activity.
The NPRM specifically states this, and this information may be found in its entirety in the December 1951 Issue of QST.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to amend Part 12 of the Regulations, which was effective on February 20, 1953.
While the New RTTY Handbook gives ARRL no credit, it was published by CQ Magazine and its author was a CQ columnist (CQ generally opposed ARRL at that time). The first RTTY Contest was held by the RTTY Society of Southern California from October 31 to November 1, 1953.
After investigation and a petition to the FCC, Part 12 was amended, in March 1956, to allow Amateur Radio Operators to use any shift that was less than 900 hertz. The FCC Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) that resulted in the authorization of Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) in the amateur high frequency (HF) bands responded to petitions by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the National Amateur Radio Council and Mr.
Each DXCC entity was counted as an additional ARRL section for RTTY multiplier credit. RTTY, later named RTTY Journal, also published the first listing of stations, mostly located in the continental US, that were interested in RTTY in 1956.
For example, the first recorded USA to New Zealand two-way RTTY QSO took place in 1956 between W0BP and ZL1WB. By the late 1950s, new organizations focused on amateur radioteletype started to appear.
The "British Amateur Radio Teletype Group", BARTG, now known as the "British Amateur Radio Teledata Group" was formed in June 1959.
The Florida RTTY Society was formed in September 1959.
The first recorded RTTY QSO in the UK occurred in September 1959 between G2UK and G3CQE.
Information on how to acquire surplus teleprinter equipment continued to spread and before long it was possible to work all continents on RTTY. Amateur Radio operators used various equipment designs to get on the air using RTTY in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Twin City, W2JAV and W2PAT designs were examples of typical terminal units that were used into the middle 1960s.
The late 1960s and early 1970s saw the emergence of terminal units designed by W6FFC, such as the TT/L, ST-3, ST-5, and ST-6.
The typical frequency multiplication type transmitter that was popular in the 1950s and 1960s would be relatively stable on 80 meters but become progressively less stable on 40 meters, 20 meters and 15 meters.
By the middle 1960s, transmitter designs were updated, mixing a crystal-controlled high frequency oscillator with a variable low frequency oscillator, resulting in better frequency stability across all Amateur Radio HF bands. During the early days of Amateur RTTY, the Worked All Continents – RTTY Award was conceived by the RTTY Society of Southern California and issued by RTTY Journal.

These designs were first published in RTTY Journal starting in September 1967 and ending in 1970. An adaptation of the W6FFC TT/L terminal unit was developed by Keith Petersen, W8SDZ, and it was first published in the RTTY Journal in September 1967.
The ARRL began issuing WAC RTTY certificates in 1969. By the early 1970s, Amateur Radio RTTY had spread around the world and it was finally possible to work more than 100 countries via RTTY.

ON4BX, in 1971, was the first Amateur Radio station to submit his cards to the DX Editor of RTTY Journal and to achieve this honor.
This consisted of (sometimes very elaborate and artistic) pictures sent over rtty through the use of lengthy punched tape transmissions and then printed by the receiving station on paper. On January 7, 1972, the FCC amended Part 97 to allow faster RTTY speeds.
The ARRL began issuing DXCC RTTY Awards on November 1, 1976.
The military used frequency shift keying technology and this technology proved very reliable even over long distances. From the 1980s, teleprinters were replaced by computers running teleprinter emulation software. ==Technical description== A radioteletype station consists of three distinct parts: the Teletype or teleprinter, the modem and the radio. The Teletype or teleprinter is an electromechanical or electronic device.
