[RTTY] Why is 40 Meter contesting in CW segment?

[WS7I]

Actually the basic premise of this entire discussion is quite wrong.
It is the CW and the Digital section of the band.

It of course does differ from Region to Region but in the US it is
both CW and Digital. Thus during CW high periods of activity
(contests) you get CW in all the segment and in high activity periods
of digital you get RTTY in the entire segment.

Nothing new and nothing has changed.  Same on 80 with JA's except even lower!
