And the reason for 0 contacts on 160 by these stations is most likely based
upon the rule that multipliers count only once, regardless of which band
they are work on. In addition, in a contest you will have a higher rate on
the other bands.
My opinion is the scoring method will self impose a limit to the RTTY
activity on 160m that weekend.
