[RTTY] 160 meter RTTY contest

[Barry]

I do use receiving antennas on 160 (600 ft Beverage to EU and a 
rotatable loop for other directions) and still think RTTY on 160 is a 
bad idea.  For those of you who want to try 160 and don't have the real 
estate for Beverages, you might want to take a look at a link to details 
of my receiving loop:

May the QRN be with you :.)
