This is one of the reasons I like RTTY above PSK. And FYI I am an ARRL member. I think all of the RTTY awards should be preserved as is.

I would prefer to keep the RTTY award ...  but .... to add another
mode award (i.e. one for Digital, one for RTTY) will dilute the DXCC
"brand".  Some will say "continue to dilute" given that the WARC band
and even the other band awards aren't all that old.

Look at WAS - there are so many band, mode, and band-mode awards that
it's very nearly impossible for *HQ* to keep track.
