[RTTY] RTTY vs PSK31 on Field Day

[Jeff AC0C]

For FD, run both modes.  You will have better Q rates on RTTY but it's 
possible you may run out of guys to work if FD activity on RTTY is light 
that year.  So moving to PSK will let you keep running but the Q rate will 
be less as there will be more casual ops there and the occasional longwinded 
exchange will pop up from time to time.

Yes, but sometimes you need to move data.
