Yes it's a bad thing it being so easy to get into RTTY now and work DX and
contests and get DXCC in the first year. It would be best for the mode and
hobby if only the old timers worked RTTY and on the klinckity green key
machines. That way in 5-10 more years the mode will be extinct because all the
old timers will be SK and newer hams will be working RTTYM and OLIVIA, etc.
