[ILQSO] N9JF short comments

Well, there is no reason I should be hearing RTTY all the way down to  7025.  
I stay away from the top end of the band, all of the time, they  should stay 
away from the bottom.  I had 6 different stations fire up RTTY  right on me, 
in the middle of a run. I made notes of the calls ( a neat thing  the ICOM PRO 
3 does, decodes rtty on screen!), and will keep these calls in mind  during 
CQWW. They won't get a Q from me.

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.

an endless RTTY contest going on that tears up 40  CW (and other bands to a 
lesser extent) every weekend.  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?
