Hi Ed

Having operated RTTY in the WPX and WW and of course CW in all
the topband contests I vote, "No". In fact I also vote to get rid of SSB
on topband but that may be pushing my luck.

160 has a narrow cw band and the two modes don't blend well.

How about above 1950 to 2000 in the next rtty contest as a test. That
should warm up a few shacks as the cheap tuners catch fire.
