REPLY:
Interesting. I have wondered for a long time if some mode would
eventually replace RTTY for contesting, and for general operating and
DXing as well. Do you think it might be DominoEX? Are there any
drawbacks to using it in a contest? If it is slower that is not
necessarily a gad thing if throughput is significantly better.
