[RTTY] Arrl requests digital mode comments

[Ron Kolarik]

Easy Joe, look at the date on the submission. She'll most likely
demand 20% now that traffic has increased significantly, mostly
marine email. Even the guys on eHam and the Zed grew tired of
her ALE rants and ignored her for the most part. 

If you want to really stir things up ask her what international body
appointed her International Coordinator of the HF ALE Network.
I never did get an answer to that.
