More than half of our FD score came from digital modes out here at the Los
Alamos ARC. I'd say 25% of that was RTTY, the rest PSK-31. I'm a digital
guy and operated one of the two radios almost exclusively on these modes
because I'm shy on the mic. Our club was skeptical till they saw the data.
Digital is where it's at, and RTTY is very fast. The only reason we
didn't have more RTTY contacts was because we didn't switch over till late
Saturday night -not because of a lack of activity.
