[RTTY] CQWW exchange

[Bill, W6WRT]

I didn't notice this at all. To me, the confirmation is either QSL or
TU, and I wait for one or the other on every QSO. During the recent
contest I don't believe I had a single QSO without receiving one or
the other. Are you (Roger) looking for something more than that?

And I agree totally about the 599. Complete waste of time on RTTY. In
a CW or phone contest it does have some value because it sets the
rhythm and tone for the report which follows, but RTTY has no such
need. I think it's just a carryover from other contests.

73, Bill W6WRT
