Well John, you were about as nice as you could possibly be in your reply 
comments. However his attitude and comments really didn't deserve your time 
and patience. A gentleman you are. I'd like to believe that something can be 
said to this fellow that will make sense to him. But I doubt this type 
individual will accept anything short of your promise to keep rtty ops off 
his beloved 40M. Good luck and

Many thanks

Tom WX4TM

Please read the note I had from Chip W7AIT, below, and my reply above.
Sensible comments will be welcome; we have enough wars already.


Chip,

Thanks for the mail about our contest. I will reply in full shortly
after dealing with the 100s of logs coming in.

It would help if you can explain about these "guard bands". The only
ARRL contest that I have seen recently was the Roundup which had some
suggested RTTY frequencies, one of which was 7040 +/- 5KHz. In region 1
Europe 7040 is our centre frequency on RTTY in the IARU bandplans. I put
forward a proposal to move this further up the band a few years ago,
when the RSGB invited consultation prior to a region 1 meeting. After
calling the meeting they decided to discuss something entirely
different!

I will also copy this to the RTTY reflector for comments .. we are not
all "contest jerks".

73,

John GW4SKA
BARTG Contest Manager

You have no guard bands or recommended RTTY frequency ranges in your
contest today, and as usual with your RTTY "TEST" all you RTTY guys are
interfering with CW operation, especially 40 CW between 7025- 7040.

Can't you be gentlemen instead of "contest jerks" and add guard bands
like the ARRL test did last week?  I think you're being very
inconsiderate.

And the ARRL wants bands/ modes by band width?  You guys are
demonstrating that it doesn't work!  You all simply take over!

  Put some guard bands in your test please!
