[RTTY] How I worked VK0EK from NA on 15M RTTY this morning

Bad idea to eliminate US lead DXpeditions ... many/most of the EU lead
operations are just as bad (or worse) in the opposite direction.

It would be better if sponsors required any expedition to agree to
this policy as a condition for support:

> The group or organization sponsoring the DXpedition must commit to
> equality for voice, CW and data (RTTY) modes.  It is expected that at
> each mode will receive equivalent amplifier/antenna and operator
> resources, have equal access to prime bands and operating hours to
> each of the world's major population centers, and will represent at
> least 25% of total contacts.
