[RTTY] Fw: [CQ-Contest] back to contesting?

[Shelby Summerville]

For those of you that don't subscribe to "contesting.com" reflector, quite a
discussion has been taking place! This post from ARRL, New England Division
Director, IMHO opens the door for "serious" discussion about adding RTTY to
other CW/SSB only contests, especially ARRL 10 meter contest? I would
suggest all ARRL members ask their respective Division Directors to pursue
this possibility to its successful end! Thanks
C'Ya, Shelby

best combination of rate combined with ability to find new stations and work
them fast.   That happens somewhat in the IARU HF, but there is no major
contest I'm aware of where CW and digital modes are both allowed (except
Field Day, and digital activity is fairly minor).
