[PaQSO] RTTY in PQP 2005?

[Ron Notarius]

Ummm... careful on the wording there; "one contact per station per band no
matter what Mode" could be interpreted as affecting Phone & CW contacts too.

I'd say that there should be three recognized Modes:  CW, Phone, and
Digital.  One QSO per station per band per Mode.  So if you want to make
your phone QSO's on 75 M AM or 10 M FM, or your digital QSO's on RTTY, PSK,
AMTOR, or whatever, no sweat, it's covered.
