[RTTY] FW: If you care about CW and RTTY - time is of the essence

[Ron Kolarik]

Matthew, it has a purely data mode that doesn't have a voice component 
and just because
there's zero interest now doesn't mean some idiot won't decide to try it.

I think we're pretty much done here, we'll never agree on much and 
there's way too many
hams that have been beaten to death by Winlink in it's various modes 
over more than a few
years. It could have been different but some on the wide band side 
preferred to be band bullies
rather than work with others, that will never change. Look at the 
proposal, where it originated
and the comments about P4, like I said it's all about email and Winlink 
wanting P4 nothing more.

Also, to the best of my knowledge (and I say this because I'm in quite a few System Fusion message groups) there is absolutely zero interest in operating it on HF; D-STAR does show up on the HF bands occasionally, but for a very short time and in the Phone portion of the bands.
