I spearheaded the W3AO digital operation last year and it's actually become
a significant part of our score.
PSK is where it's at and the operators seem to have gotten much better about
"contest mode" operating and not throwing a paragraph of brag tape at you!
RTTY is faster overall, but there really wasn't that much activity compared
to PSK.
The hard part about digital if you are in a big operation is keeping it from
interfering with the other modes on the same band. You cant justify taking
CW or SSB off the air to make digital contacts from a points perspective.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Filed Day operations on digital???
Was wondering how popular is the digital systems for Field Day? RTTY,PSK,
etc...
Was thinking of setting up a digital station for Field Day but not if it
won't be fruitful...
