[RTTY] 160m in RTTY Contests

[Phil Sussman]

Personally .. not being a frantic contester, I'd prefer an area to
escape contesting and rag chew. Even now, contesters often invade
17m and 12m which makes one wonder about who reads the rules anyway.

By convention 160m has been off limits. The aspect of a dedicated
window might sound good, but then again who stays in the window?
If contesting desends on 160m it would be one less place to flee.

Just my thought.
