Re: RTTY on 160, there has been a lot of talk on the RTTY reflectors about
160 skeds, activity hours and the like, so that's not too surprising.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Freaking me out

There's an old Dilbert cartoon in which Wally is lying on a mental health
therapist's couch (with his ever-present cup of coffee).  He says to the
therapist: I keep dreaming about work, and since I sleep at work I'm
dreaming about sleeping, and it's freaking me out.

So, here on the reflector is NQ4I -- a good guy, and reasonable --
purporting a friend who operated ARRL SSB from YN and made 3100 QSOs without
ever being spotted; and nobody else on the reflector heard the guy.  And
here is VE7FO -- a good guy, and reasonable -- asking if the Anatolian RTTY
test is 160m-only this year.

3100 phantom QSOs???  Work Turkey, but only on 160m digital???  I'll admit
to being pretty ignorant, but these are freaking me out.  I keep wondering
if I am going to wake up and discover that I wasn't even asleep -- or that I
missed March and it's already time for LeConcours du Poisson d'Avril.

I am really interested to see how these turn out.
