[RTTY] AA5AU SARTG Score

[Paul Caccamo]

I really like the Grid Square option as discussed below.  It might require
some inventive logging modules though.
The Tara Grid Dip test at the beginning of August had Grids as multipliers,
but was a multimode
rtty/psk contest with not too much participation (or propagation - if I
remember correctly).
