[RTTY] RTTY contest questions and comments

[Steve **KT0DX**]

Ian I agree with the way you do it and that is how I have set it up 
here.  My thinking was to make it like you would for a SSB contest.  
VE3JI 599 04 C0 KT0DX would make more sense then VE3JI 599 04 CO VE3JI 
if someone was to run across it when doing S&P.
