[RTTY] RTTY Sprint: rework the same station vs. move to another band

[Barry]

As I recall the "work the same guy after 3 QSOs" was first introduced 
to RTTY in the RTTY Internet Sprint contest. This was carried over 
from the CW Sprint. The intent definitely was to keep from running 
out of guys (gals) to work. That contest didn't have mults, so it 
wasn't an issue for that contest.
