Hi Simon,

Here are my observations:
1. Many operators are familiar with RTTY and enjoy seeing Upper Case
for QSOs.
2. On PSK31, when decoding errors appear, they are usually Lower Case
characters. So, sending Upper Case sometimes helps operators to more
easily visually catch the correctly decoded characters amidst the
jumble of lower case errors.
