In the ARRL RTTY Roundup, the rules say work stations once per band,
regardless of mode. This means those stations using both RTTY and FT8
modes in the same contest will have to check callsigns in BOTH MODES
to know what to work efficiently.
Will there be a means supported to do an 'outcall' to another program
to check duplicate status of any particular contact? For example, N1MM
Logger+ uses the SQLite DB, but access doesn't have to be through N1MM
Logger+; to check dupe status, a small app could be written to perform
the DB query. I'm pretty sure on modern computers the SQLite library
is fast enough to handle the lookup of a list of callsigns before
display, especially if they're queried in a single SQL lookup (e.g.
"WHERE CALLSIGN IN ('N1ABC', 'K2ABC', 'K3ABC', 'W4ABC'])
I would expect that if a serious contest station were employing both
modes, they'd keep the 'ground truth' database of stations worked in a
contest logger.
