Exactly my point -- why do the rules change? CW and Phone have the  
same rules, just the mode changes. Why would RTTY be different?

Or has this got to do with the relatively low population of stations  
that are RTTY capable? I was licensed 30 years ago, and I'm just now  
active on RTTY. (Although did try to build a TU and some terminal  
software 20 and 15 years ago)

Seems like, at some point, there should be just as many RTTY ops now  
as there were on CW or Phone however many years ago it was that the  
current rules were adopted....
