[RTTY] Lids running RTTY on the JT65 Frequency

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

1) This was an RTTY contest and an RTTY list ...
2) CW operators generally bail as soon as they *hear* the
    JT65/JT9 and/or PSK modes - they don't like long duration
    tones in their headsets and they *listen*.
3) in most cases (except 40 meters) the CW activity does not
    extend above xx.070 even in SS or CQWW CW except for a few
    thick-skulled fools who generally move because their rate
    suffers.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
