[RTTY] 160

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

And the reason for 0 contacts on 160 by these stations is most likely based 
upon the rule that multipliers count only once, regardless of which band 
they are work on. In addition, in a contest you will have a higher rate on 
the other bands.

My opinion is the scoring method will self impose a limit to the RTTY 
activity on 160m that weekend.
