Topband: RTTY on 160 meters

[KE1F Lou]

The reason I am asking that an experienced operator told me that RTTY 
mode is
restricted bellow 1.810Mc

There is no FCC rule and I can't find any "recommendation" such as the 
DX window
anyplace.

I am just wondering about the source of this 1.810 comment.
