=======================
In response to Dave's questions above:
Yes, I am interested in RTTY support in the NA program. I had the
opportunity to use NA at FD 1998, and have since done a couple of other
contests using paper. I finally decided to purchase NA 10.xx this spring,
and was thrilled to know that RTTY support was already built in. So I
started looking for the software by K6STI. You know that story... Hackers
hacked off Brian, so the software has vanished.
Sound card RTTY works well; I use BlasterTeletype by Rob Glassey for my
RTTY ragchewing. Recently got a Kam Plus, but I do not like the Pacterm
software that comes with it. I have tried RTTY by WF1B, which seems to be
a great program.
However, what would be really nice would be the ability to become EXTREMELY
familiar with just one software package (such as NA) for all my contesting
needs. Besides, I have already bought NA, used it in phone contests, and
really like the way it works.
Therefore, I would continue to use NA for RTTY as well if the support were
there.
I would like to see the option to use soundcard or TNC for RTTY. The
computer I prefer to use for logging is a 386, no soundcard, and has lots
of COM ports. I just don't want to make my P2-450 become my logging/radio
control computer. I use it for work related purposes, and cannot take the
chance of having downtime because of my hobby.
