[RTTY] 160M / AA5AU all bands

[IronmanY2k]

The topic of 160m RTTY comes up every now and again and a few of us jump on it every time.  We get on 160 for a few evenings, work the same individuals again and then we forget about it until someone brings the topic up again.  

The only RTTY contest that I know of that supports 160 meters is the TARA RTTY Melee which is on Dec 1.   This date is right in the middle of the ARRL 160 meter CW contest.  Last year many individuals did not want to operate RTTY on 160m at the same time the CW contest was happening, so participation on 160 RTTY was minimal, but there were a few of us.  We set two rally times during the contest and made some contacts on 160.

My only suggestion is that we have an activity night or a weekend where we meet at set times and make contacts.  This of course will have to wait until after the WW RTTY contest this weekend.

Going back to the original message, you may just be looking to make a 160m RTTY contact with Don, AA5AU, in which case you can email him and setup a sked.

Seems I have worked AA5AU on 80/40/20/15/10  a few times , including
the excerpts below.  No 160M though. I am not sure if that is because
I never check 160M or perhaps operators do not use 160 much in RTTY
tests.  Will have to check a bit more.
