My WA3FRP vintage RTTY station (Teletype Model 28ASR, ST-6 Demoulator, Collins R-390A, Collins T-440) is probably the only station that would qualify at this point. It has been years since I worked another "Greenkeys" RTTY station on HF radio.
This issue about DXCC RTTY is no big deal, in my opinion. ARRL set the stage for this change many years ago when digital modes other that RTTY qualified for DXCC RTTY. And, I can understand why ARRL didn't want the administrative headache of certifying each new digital mode for a separate DXCC endorsement.
But, this makes me realize that BARTG (QCA), CQ Magazine (WAZ RTTY), DARC (EURD & WAE) and SARTG (WSRY Award) did it right when they specified that their RTTY endorsement was for only RTTY.
