[ILQSO] N9JF short comments

[Hank Greeb]

I don't remember anytime, when RTTY drove me away from any band, 40 
metres included.  Perhaps people who don't have receivers are bothered 
by the stuff, but typically I've been able to find holes between RTTY 
garbage where CW fits in very nicely.

And, my receiver uses 30 year olde technology, so folks with state of 
the art receivers shouldn't have any problemme atall.

The CW folks get fewer and farther between during a RTTY contest, but 
they still exist.

Now I have done some RTTY contesting before, but every weekend????  I can see things like the CQWW RTTY and WPX RTTY contests wreaking havoc, but every weekend??? For things like the Upper Outer Mongolia RTTY contest?  Has RTTY contesting really taken over?
