[RTTY] Top Band (160m) Digital QSO Party - Silly Exchange

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

It appears the "rules" are pretty lax, with the ability to spot and use any 
means available to announce your presence on the 160m band in a digital 
mode. And specifically in the remarks section it says:

"This is not a "contest" in the normal sense of the word. The goal is to 
increase digital activity on the 160m Band and to increase DXCC totals on 
the Top Band."

So if your own goals are not to help increase digital activity on the 160m 
band and increase your DXCC total... I agree this is one event to skip.  :-)
