We can speculate all we want about how much fun this would or would not be.
But, we'll never know for sure unless we try it. It would be another band one
could try in NAQP RTTY. If the band was stinko for RTTY Qs I'm sure everyone
would avoid it. But it it were a winter running of NAQP RTTY with QRN of S-5
or below the band could play very nice.

I don't think it would be fun. It would be somewhere between frustration
and torture. The noise on 160 is bad enough on CW/SSB :.)
