[RTTY] New Winlink usage

[Ron Kolarik]

You guys going to Dayton may want to ask the ARRL about enforcement
face to face, wear your buttons. ARRL has adopted Winlink as part of their
emcomm program, they have also asked the FCC for more visible and
timely enforcement in the ham bands......I must be missing something there.
