[RTTY] OK RTTY Rule change!

[Scott Nichols]

Darn!! Was always fun watching the score jump by hundreds of thousands 
of points after working a new OK station on 40/80 metres near the end of 
the contest...

So, that means that a normal 20,000,000 score last year will now be only 
400,000!!

I'll miss this year's OK RTTY as the Canadian Winter Contest is on this 
Saturday...I may change my mind yet...

73, Scott VE1OP
