[RTTY] RTTY and dxpeditions

[Jeff Stai]

The skills are similar but you have more pileup management/tuning to do
than in a contest. Certainly doable but I don't see a DXpedition to a rare
one tying up that many resources (which chances are, are already packed
into too small a space). Demand is still higher for the other two modes it
would appear.

Still, that would be fun. ;) jeff wk6i
