[PaQSO] Rtty/Digital modes

[WB3DOM at aol.com]

I guess if this were a real vote mine would have to be a very heavy YES. This 
hobby is supposed to be fun and the PA Party is supposed to be for fun so why 
not include all the digital modes. The contacts could count the same as cw 
and should be counted as another mode per band. It would be a way for some to 
enjoy the party that are not into cw. It would also be a way for us cw operators 
that ALSO enjoy RTTY to have even more fun when we run out of cw operators to 
work. I for one find cw contacts tough to find after the first day as our 
numbers are gg the wrong direction. All I would ask is that the digital stations 
follow the band plan to the letter and the cw operators stay out of the 
digital part of the band. Otherwise I think we are in for world war three. Sort of 
like the Hatfields and the McCoys ouch I can see the mail now. Anyway CW 
forever and bring on the rest.
