[RTTY] RTTY DXCC

[WS7I]

Database doesn't track mode.  All are lumped as RTTY.  Not only that, the
early cards in the Don Search era don't have mode or band or anything.

Easier with LOTW, but the fields of mode are not there.  You would need 30
or so modes, SSB, AM, FM, SlowScan, Clover, Clover2000, Pactor, Pactor II,
Pactor3, Pactor4, and on and on and on and on.
