Re: [CQ-Contest] Single band rule WPX RTTY

        My Single Band question has showed me not everyone knows the 
correct answer.
        You have explained it well   but I see Jeff WK6I point of 
view.   Then if  you
        go to the FAQ  for CQ WW CW and SSB    and near the beginning 
you see this line
/               " The explanations here apply ONLY to the CQ WW SSB and 
CW Contests "                I  can imagine some people thinking    CQ 
WPX RTTY   is a totally different contest with              different 
rules.   I do believe you are correct Randy but, going forward  A line 
of           clarification in the WPX rules would help.
