[RTTY] 160m in RTTY Contests

[John Barber GW4SKA]

Let's keep the biggest RTTY contests as open to all operators as possible. 
Adding 160 would just widen the gap between the majority who have limited 
space and the lucky few with big antennas in big areas. It would also limit 
world-wide participation due to differing licence conditions.

A separate 160 RTTY contest has a different debate. I suspect it would have 
an almost exclusive North American entry ......

73,
