I agree, however, I don't care to be the "first" to incur the wrath of the
"regular" 160 meter enthusiasts. Most of them have spent untold amounts of
time, erecting high performance receive antennas, and they won't give up the
bandwidth, easily? There is enough wrath, on 40 meters, to almost render it
unusable?
Although the established FCC band plan allows digital, between 1.800-2.00
KHz, I doubt very seriously if there are sufficient receive antennas, on
160, in every state, to work WAS RTTY? I certainly don't have one! IMHO, the
idea of including 160, in any RTTY contest, is not a good idea?
