I know we sort of hijacked this thread. Sorry. I decided to change the
subject line as it needs to be a separate thread. RTTY is a huge advantage as
running on both radios is entirely possible. I have seen it and done it
myself. I do feel that a SO1R class would be good. Especially for encouraging
the newbies or those experienced contesters who are limited on what they can
have in their shack. I just think it is an all around a good idea and wanted
to share my thoughts on here.
