Hi Tim

That is what I find fun, also, in RTTY contesting. I also think that Sklimmer is going to take the fun out of it, just like it does for CW.

I had my epxerience with the RTTY Skimmer in a contest and didn't like it. 73

The FEC subject drift in the GRITTY thread got me thinking about why I do
RTTY contesting.

I think it's unlikely I'd ever think of contesting using an FEC mode. It
would completely remove the engagement of RTTY contesting that I find so
addictive.

I find RTTY contesting very engaging, using ears to hear the deedles and
crashes and QRM while correlating with multiple decoder windows and piecing
together callsigns between my couple years of RTTY contesting experience
and SCP. In some ways it is more engaging than CW (which lacks the visual
engagement outside the SCP aspect)
