Sadly, ARRL doesn't offer the  "RTTY DXCC Award" anymore. Since 2011 they have combined it 
with other digital modes, it's now called "Digital DXCC". On July 25, 2011 the word “Digital” 
began replacing “RTTY" on these DXCC certificates.

CQ magazine's WAZ (worked all 40 CQ zones) still has separate awards for RTTY 
and Digital.

RTTY since 1967 (Model 28 KSR)

I waited until all of the frenzy subsided and bought myself a K3 back in '08 IIRC.  I was 
using a TS-870SAT primarily on SSB at the time and frankly, I was disappointed in the K3, 
particularly from an ergonomic point of view.  So in looking for a use for the K3 I 
investigated RTTY. Although I had been licensed for about 50 years at that time I had 
never operated RTTY.  I've never to this day used the internal RTTY capability, nor FSK 
for that matter, but I did start using AFSK.  I got hooked.  So I thought to try for DXCC 
and now have a DXCC certificate that actually says "RTTY" on it. Today it's 
harder to find new ones, but I have 254 confirmed now with my modest station.
