I've made a lot of QSOs using the WSJT modes, but I wouldn't dream of
doing so when a contest is occupying the same space. The same is true
of CW or SSB on contesting bands during a contest. We hams have a lot
of spectrum, but none of us owns any frequency, either individually or
as a group. Contest organizers intentionally avoid the WARC bands, and
RTTY contesting intentionally avoids 160M. Someone who wants to work
JT65 or PSK31 on HF during a RTTY contest can QSY to 160M, 30M, 17M,
or 12M. So can CW operators. At least one of these bands will usually
be open enough to have fun.
