[RTTY] Telnet/Packet and the RTTY RU/Revision the Rules

[Barry]

Tom (et al),
This issue has been beaten to death many times before.  Go back to 
scores from the pre-SO2R days.  The same people that win contests today 
won them back them, too.  The top operators always strive to do better.  
Why go to the trouble of SO2R?  Because it's one more way to enhance the 
contesting experience.  I get just as much, if not more, satisfaction 
knowing the SO2R station I built (about 50% homebrew stuff) performs 
well, compared to doing well in contests.
