[RTTY] FD RTTY Question

[Paul Stoetzer]

The PSK part of 20m was absolutely packed all weekend. I didn't make 
many Field Day contacts, but that appeared to be where the action is. 
PSK31 is an utterly unsuitable mode for contesting and it's unfortunate 
that RTTY activity seemed to be lower.

PSK contesting needs to be PSK63, in my opinion. PSK31 is just too slow.

73,
