Agreed. In fact I kind of like the rarity of RTTY as a DXPedition
mode. It makes the QSO even more valuable when you do get it.

Anyone off the street can make mixed Honor Roll given some reasonable
persistence, but it's a rare op indeed who can do it on RTTY. As of a
few years ago there were only 19. This has probably increased a few
since then.

I'd like to keep it a very exclusive club.

And if you REALLY want a challenge, to the best of my knowledge,
nobody has WAS on 160 Meter RTTY. Go for it!
