Formal Awards title change from "RTTY" to"Digital".

The WIA Awards program has officially updated all of its awards to reflect "Digital" where it represents an "Award Title or a "Group Title" only. We have made this change keeping pace with the expanding world of Digital Data Communications. At present Digital does not fit in all cases to the "RTTY" title category. Certificates will be titled "Digital" and endorsed with the appropriate awarded "Data Mode".

Digital will represent all data transmitted modes for our awards and details are below:

Yours Faithfully
