[VHFcontesting] MSK144 contacts in cabrillo

[Roger Rehr W3SZ]

There is an answer and Jay is 100% correct.   :)

I was told long ago that RY is standard.  There is good documentation
for this and so RY is what I have been doing for years to log digital
contacts for Cabrillo logs.

Here are some references, listed as first reference then quotation: 

http://qsl.net/w3km/cab_template.htm
Most sponsors use `RY` for all non-CW digital modes.

https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~becher/ShackPrimer/N1MM%20Logger%20Documents%202011-02-03_merged[1].pdf
page 174:  Note: The Cabrillo standard only supports one mode designator
for digital modes: RY.

The next item is the mode used . The standard abbreviations are PH for
an SSB or AM QSO, CW for CW, FM for FM, and RY for RTTY/digital modes

Hope that helps!
