While I haven't yet checked the new feature, I would think it should 
be one for CW/RTTY (599) and one for everything else (59). I suspect 
the problem then becomes, "How do you know if the radio is set to 
RTTY?" If using FSK, it will probably be a "RTTY" mode, but folks can 
use AFSK with USB or LSB (or USB-D/LSB-D on radios so equipped). 
Perhaps handle the explicit RTTY mode, and let the AFSK-ers fend for 
themselves? (Spoken like a true FSK RTTY guy!)

Perhaps it would be possible to deduce the RTTY mode from the "Mode 
Mappings", i.e., if the user wants the QSO logged as RTTY (e.g., if 
set to LSB-D), then call it RTTY. Or perhaps I'm being too nit-picky 
(distinct possibility).

Perfect.
