The limited success of RTTY on a dxpedition is not due to the mode

do a CW pileup, but generally with even less skill. On top of that the
RTTY control op on the dxpedition end rarely has the skill needed to get
solid rates
I mostly agree about the skills part, but I also think it's the mode. In
my experience, RTTY is much harder to decode in a pileup than CW with
the ears of a good op on the expedition and the skill of good op to time
his/her call and figure out where to call.
