   You can't get RTTY WAS with PSK 31.  You *can* get Digital WAS with it,
   though, and I will, but I want to finish RTTY WAS first ...  :-)

This is a suprise for me.  I think when I got mine, PSK counted as
RTTY (as it does for DXCC, still).

   Hmm, there's a RTTY WAC too ...  Must look at my cards again ...

I suspect that for WAC (as for DXCC) PSK counts as RTTY.  WAC was the
first award I picked up, and on 40M RTTY, too (thanks to EA8).

And note that for their contests (and in Cabrillo log format) PSK and
RTTY count the same.  

That's one of my pet peaves- you can enter RTTY Roundup using PSK, but
since the ARRL won't count them as separate modes (except when they
do), you stand a very small chance of winning anything.
