Hi Don,
I saw the same comment and thought "What?" - Amateur Radio is about
exploring and learning. Try it all. The individual might try RTTY or
Satellites or whatever and find one or more aspects of Ham radio not his cup
of tea and that's OK; however, don't disparage someone who doesn't use the
mode you prefer.
I for one am pleased to have worked ZW0S RTTY and over the years have worked
the "rocks" on SSB and CW. Just the fact that someone risks his fanny going
there (have you ever seen videos of folks "landing" there?), I am happy to
work him in whatever mode/band he chooses and consider myself lucky to be in
the log!.
73, Harry
