While 160m RTTY is certainly interesting, the band that needs more  
RTTY activity is 30m!

I got on last night around 10.138 MHz and had a nice QSO with N3WT.  
Called a few more CQs, but had no other takers. N3WT remarked that he  
rarely hears any RTTY on 30m, and barely anything else but packet or  
PACTOR forwarding stations.

30m is a great band, and we ought to use it more. CW is at the bottom  
of the band, so there's a lot of room for digital modes. I'm going to  
make it a practice to call CQ somewhere in 10.138-140 each time I get  
on the radio. Listen up for me, or call CQ yourself.
