I really wasn't implying anything about "what killed what."  Just wondering where day-to-day RTTY went.

the RTTY star, as that just isn't true.)

Only other places I've really worked RTTY was when working DXpeditions.

Outside of DXpeditions I've worked a few on PSK31 and Olivia.

I run an RBN node near Baltimore, MD spotting both CW and RTTY 160-12M.
During any normal weekend day, I'll spot maybe 1 RTTY station an hour.
A big contest goes on the air (like this weekend) , and suddenly I'm
spotting 300-400 RTTY signals per hour.  I guess my question is, where
do they go the rest of the time?
