I suspect this is one of the reasons RTTY tends to be "invisible"
to a lot of the major DXpeditions. Their "foundation" sponsorships
tend to be attributed to CW and phone operation, their corporate
sponsors generally cover radios and antennas while RTTY falls through
the cracks.
A RTTY DX Foundation would be one way to provide increased visibility
for digital modes. Another way might be to make it clear to the
"traditional" DX foundations that support that you are a digital DXer
and you expect them to require operations they support (with your
contributions and dues) to provide "equal billing" for digital modes.
Due to the time and cost to establish a separate RTTY DX Foundation,
I would put the effort into convincing organizations like NCDXF, etc.
to add digital representation to their "expectations checklist" before
going the "independent" route.
