I would suggest that you contact the contest administrator directly and
inquire. Many, many RTTY contests do not specifically allow packet but if
you contact the admin they will tell you that they don't care one way or
the other.

I have several of these on file from different contest managers.  So you
may well be able to use packet and operate the contest at a disadvantage,
if and only if you think packet might give you an advantage!

Bill's suggested generally agreed is not at all what I found when I
contacted many managers prior to formulating the original WPX rules and Ron
K5DJ and I wrote.   Which is why contests like the WPX expressly allow
packet and so state it.  Most small contests don't have the room to write
long rules.  And many managers think that people do what they want anyway
and turn an eye....
