[CQ-Contest] Fwd: [wsjtgroup] WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc6

[Paul O'Kane]

Great - we have yet another data mode.  There is no single data mode that is
"best" in all respects.  It's always a compromise between time, signal rate,
bandwidth and number of discrete channels or tones - the potential 
combinations
are limitless.

What all data modes (including RTTY) have in common is that they require
machine decoding.  It seems to me that ham-radio contesters do their own
decoding, whether it's CW or Phone.  Everything else is data processing and,
increasingly, fully-automated data processing.

Let's leave data modes to the Data-Processing-over-RF apps.
