[WriteLog] Re: SCC RTTY rules propossal

[Bruce Lifter, WT4I]

I am with Don on this one...

The RTTY contests outside the big 3 can already be painfully slow. To further
limit
the rate by imposing a 10 band change rule is crazy. Given the band change rule,
I will probably play in SARTG the weekend before and skip the SCC. (Even if the
SARTG does not have a low power category.)
