[RTTY] ARRL and band/mode awards

[Ktfrog007 at aol.com]

Hi Peter,
 
You might want to rethink this a bit.  These minor categories  stimulate 
more activity and allow small stations to compete at their own level,  all the 
time providing more fodder for the big gun stations.  And, as a  frequent 
participant in these categories, I can assure you there is very little  glory 
in them and virtually no recognition.

I think  that the matrix of awards cheapens the whole thing.  Much  like
"winning" CQ WW because you had the highest score of all the  Single
Op, Single Band stations in your state running only a tribander  or
wires.
