[CQ-Contest] Fwd: Why?

[Ward Silver]

I don't the issue is as much about spectrum efficiency or channel 
characteristics as it is of the session-level protocol for RTTY and 
PSK31, for which there really isn't one.  Both are "connection-less" 
protocols that don't require any kind of set-up and tear-down of a 
protocol structure before data is exchanged.  Characters are typed, out 
they go, and anyone can receive them or respond to them without 
negotiation. That's what you need for a contest environment.  If you are 
talking about data transfer - that's a completely different problem.
