[RTTY] RTTY QSOs on LoTW logged as FSK31?

I don't know about the FSK showing up as FSK31, but RTTY contacts should be logged as RTTY since that's the mode and not FSK.

I sent an E-mail to lotw-help at arrl.org last week and received a prompt reply.  Then today received the answers to my questions.  So
took less than a week for answers.

Subject: [RTTY] RTTY QSOs on LoTW logged as FSK31?

Hi all,

My day-to-day logging program logs RTTY QSOs as "FSK" which has never been a problem with LoTW until recently. But sometime in the
not-too-distant past I noticed that QSOs logged as FSK show up as
FSK31 QSOs in my WAS totals. On the DXCC totals they still show up as RTTY. Does anyone know why (or when) this change was made?

I'm only one QSO away from having RTTY WAS completely via LoTW, but LoTW is showing my ND QSO as FSK31, so it falls under Digital
instead of RTTY. Maybe for the award it doesn't matter, but it matters to me, as I'd like for my RTTY total to be RTTY. I doubt if
I'll ever make any FSK31 QSOs.

On a related note, I sent email to lotw-help at arrl.org over a week ago and never received a reply. In the years since I started using
LoTW I have sent email to that address three times and have never received a reply. Is that the norm, or have I just been unlucky?

73,
Doug, K4DSP
