	I might as well chime in here.


	I can pretty authoritatively tell everyone that RTTY isn't going to be 
a part of the PAQSO party. My rationale is that if RTTY was involved, 
it might prove a problem for the CW operators.

	As for the possibility of other digital modes in the party, that issue 
is not decided yet. Any decision on that rests upon an investigation of 
the impact it will have on those involved. Any decision for this year's 
party would have to be made very soon.

	I went through old posts from the reflector, and I see that the issue 
keeps coming up!

	BTW, I'm watching all the  posts even if I don't reply immediately. My 
involvement too early in a thread would probably be a bad thing, as I 
want to see what people have to say.
