[RTTY] ARRL.org Vote

Because it's a better mode? 

I did a couple of RTTY Roundups with PSK31 and I really liked it. In the 
early days of PSK31, where you had to tune manually in 10 Hz 
increments to get print, I can see why contesters didn't like it. However, 
nowadays with software AFC and click on the trace, it's a no brainer. 
Less bandwidth. Weak signal copy is better. I recall the most amazing 
thing about PSK31 - calling CQ, not hearing a reply, getting ready to 
push F1 again, then seeing 100% print on the screen of what I couldn't 
hear!
Arguments for Baudot? I'm listening...
