One greatly underused band IMO is 160 meters for RTTY. When I first started
hanging out there I was told by an old timer "160 meters is no good for
RTTY". My experience says otherwise. For propagation out to about 100-200
miles it is superior to all other bands, HF or VHF, day or night. There are
no dead spots - down in a valley is no different from on top of a hill. If
you've never worked 160 RTTY before, give it a try. 

QSX 1808 most nights.  DX, ragchew, anything.
