[Ham-Mac] Mac RTTY Contesting Interest

[Randy Terrell]

Dick,
   Not true!  (At least not here)  Have operated the past two RTTY 
contests using my eMac and Tay's CocoaModem.   Although I had almost 
totally left RTTY for PSK31, the ability to use my Mac has reminded me 
how much I like that mode.  Really love the program but do wish it was 
a little easier to configure for the non standard contests.
73,
Randy
