[RTTY] ARRL RTTY Round-Up Rules - QUESTIONs about band changes, etc.

[Jim Preston]

I would like an Assisted or Unlimited category added to the contest. I 
enjoy using packet when the rules permit. Packet isn't just for working 
new mults. It is also useful for finding stations you haven't worked, 
even if they aren't a mult. It is also useful for quickly checking other 
bands to see what kind of activity there is on those bands while you are 
working another band.
