   Some questions:

   1. Are you a member of a DX Foundation?
      NO : Why not?
      YES: Is RTTY on the agenda of your DX Foundation?
	   NO : Why not?
	    |   Do you want to put it on the agenda?
	    |   NO : Why not?
	    |   YES: Tell us about it.
	   YES: Tell us about it.

YES, and NO, not specifically, but I didn't realize it was an issue,
until this trip.

   2. Do you believe, we need a (new?) DX Foundation with many fine goals,
      but GOAL #1 should be: "Supporting DX-peditions to run RTTY as much
			      as they can?"
      NO : Why not?
      YES: Do you believe, Dayton is a good place, to establish this new
	   DX RTTY Foundation?
	   NO : Why not?
	   YES: See you in Dayton.

YES, I was and maybe still am, going to bring this up at Dayton.  At
XR0X, the 6M station was shut down for a short period of time, but was
NOT significantly curtailed, and I believe a sigificant component of
that decision was the SPONSORSHIP of the XR0X by the Italian 6M Group.
They even sent T-shirts, but won't actually send a grant until after
the trip.

   3. Do you like my questions?
      NO : Why not?
      YES: Fine!
YES.
