[RTTY] Booooo

[K4GM-George]

Maybe I have just been a ham so long that I have a different perspective 
on the name change but to me there has always been RTTY and everything 
else which could be classified as digital.  I know that RTTY is a 
digital mode, of course.  Personally I don't like the name change at 
all.  Fortunately I got my RTTY DXCC already.  Now I am anxious to go 
home and see just what is on it.  Now wonder what happens when I apply 
for endorsements.  Will I receive DIGITAL endorsements on my RTTY DXCC??
