[RTTY] Interesting Survey

[ak0a]

Don that does not suprise me, at TI9M we had one station devoted entirely to
Digi mode. The only time that station was used for CW or SSB is when we got
tired. And the lack of interest spill over to Hamvention. At the RTTY forum
in Dayton they would rather talk about 2 radio contesting and thanks but no
thanks to anything else about RTTY dx-peditons. OH well but that's what the
masses want. CUL
