[RTTY] RTTY SkimServer Announcment

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

What a *GREAT* message from Alex, to help convey a continued partnership 
in supporting the vast spectrum of RTTY systems that are in use across 
the world! With a global user community, there is definitely room for 
both Ford and Chevrolet (or Audi and Lexus)!

As a long time contester, I had been salivating with Chen, W7AY over the 
possibility of the development of a RTTY skimming system. He conveyed 
that there were several very capable programmers who were pursing this 
technology! And within the year, the first beta systems were announced 
and "tried out" on the air.

I second the motion by Alex, that Walter continue his development work 
on his system. Similar to WinTest, WriteLog, and N1MM+ (to name a few), 
a collaborative, competitive environment always helps push technology 
forward.

Thank you BOTH for your time, energy, and skills that have made RTTY 
contesting more enjoyable to the contesting community!
