As others have noted, there is much more RTTY activity during RTTY contests.
There is also an increase in RTTY activity on 40 and 80 meters during the low
years of the sunspot cycle when 10M is completely dead and 15M is very poor. We
take working EU from the USA on 15 meters for granted when in a few more years,
most of us will not have this path at all. However, we will be able to work EU
on 40 and even 80 meters.
