Shelby,
That's correct (for me). I stopped RTTY contesting about then. However,
I still have a vested interest in my record :-)

If all contests were the same, where would the interest be in that? I
respect the fact that we are all entitled to our opinions. Checking my
log I don't find N1UR on RTTY, and W2UP, not since 2004? If you're not
playing in the contest, what difference does it make how it is managed?

You're correct about the reason for having US to US points in the
RTTY contest. I'm all for the change to make it like the CW and
SSB contests. That way my 2002 SO/LP US record will never be
broken :-)

Its actually called the CQ World Wide DX Contest. The reason
that domestic
contacts do not count for points should be quite clear based
on the actual
name of the contest.
I believe the rules were amended for the RTTY contest because
there was
initially so little participation that it needed an
enhancement to be
viable. If its now become much more popular, the CQ WW DX
RTTY should
actually consider adopting the traditional rules.
Find a contest that suits your style and location and enjoy.
