Now that the "leaders" at the League have made the decision that RTTY is now
Digital, are they going to rename the ARRL Rookie Roundup RTTY to ARRL
Rookie Roundup Digital and also the ARRL RTTY Roundup to ARRL Digital
Roundup?
That will allow PSK31, MFSK, JT65, Hell, and other "digital" modes to
participate and they should rightfully be recognized as legitimate modes in
these contests, because the ARRL has made the decision that RTTY is no
longer a legitimate mode of communications and they should not be awarding
certificates for an illegitimate mode of communication since it's no longer
worthy of a certificate. How can they call them RTTY Contests when, by ARRL
definition, they are Digital Contests?
Why is it so difficult to have the word RTTY printed on a Certificate? If a
station works all states (WAS) in RTTY mode, that station should see RTTY as
the mode on the certificate, not Digital. This is a bad decision and I hope
our wonderful leaders in Newington will reconsider this ill thought out
decision.
