[RTTY] Pondering an issue

[Neal Campbell]

I'm with Ed.

I also can vouch that Wayne is very actively updating the program, I own a
Flex 6700 and wayne is the only developer I am aware of that has a native
interface with the radio.

I also think its healthy to have more than 1 contesting program, it
promotes creativity.
