[RTTY] Looks like I won't get RTTY DXCC afterall

[Doug McDuff]

Sadly, the listing category in LoTW has now been changed from "RTTY" to 
"Digital," as well.

While change may be inevitable, I don't have to necessary like it.

Oh well...as my great grandmother used to say, "new and improved, 
steadily worse."

Strictly my $0.01 factoring in inflation.
