Jim,
FWIW .. some RTTY contesters show up in the normal JT65/JT9/FT8
locations. I'm not saying that we go outside the designated areas, but
that others may not respect those boundries.

I see it as an opportunity for FT8 ops to piss off RTTY ops, and it's
not our fault. Thanks to a massive screw-up by the FCC the last time
allocations by mode were made, all digital ops got badly short-changed
on 80M, and the Commission doesn't seem willing to admit their mistake.
RTTY ops are not permitted above 3600, which jams them (us) into what's
left between CW (ending about 3560, with nets as high as 3585) and 3600
kHz.
I've always been primarily a CW op, but I work SSB and RTTY for contests
to support my club (NCCC) and work a lot of FT8, JT65, JT9, and MSK144,
mostly on 160 and 6M. I'm really positive about FT8 in contesting, and
hope that it will bring lots of new folks into contesting. But let's all
be good neighbors on the bands when we do it. Did anyone notice that
during the Stew Perry contest on 160M last weekend, CW ops gave our FT8
watering hole a wide berth? Let's not be the ones to screw up that
relationship!
