[PaQSO] RTTY PAQSO

[n3xls at juno.com]

I would have to vote YES to RTTY durring the PA QSO party. there should be no concerns with it interfreining with CW because there is plently of room for everyone. In my exprenice have worked many digital mode contests and RTTY is by far the only one that is used the widest and can keep up with high paced contest. I don't know of many contest logging programs that support other digital modes other then rtty, sure writelog supports PSK however the interface to tune stations in is clumsy and just a pain in moose! but to favor everyone i think all digital modes should be allow with emphise placed on RTTY as preferred mode of opertation. adding the digital modes will create new drive to break old records that haven't been broken in years. It will also drive more county hunters and DX stations to work our wonderful contest. The best thing to do would be to make some incentive to working the digital modes on the first contest by making each QSO worth 2, 3 or 1.5 point each. i added my two cents i think there is pros and cons to this issue and i think the pro's out weigh the con's.
