I could really use a change of topic. BUT, before that, I have one
comment. Just do a google search for "RTTY Bandplan Contest". One of the top
results will be ARRL Bandplan page http://www.arrl.org/band-planWould you say
an operator using this as a reference would be "good to go"? Did you look it
up - did you see the JT65 frequencies - no - how can that be? What's a
reasonable effort to avoid interfering with someone. I keep a list for each
contest I operate with frequencies to avoid (beacons and other modes) and JA
frequencies. I also have a band scope so I can see what's on a frequency (or
adjacent) before calling CQ. Of course not all modes will show up but at least
I make an effort. Since I don't have a super station or am a super operator, I
usually call CQ up the band a ways - and fortunately (it seems) not on any JT65
frequencies. Maybe this topic could be put to rest and before the next
contest someone could (in a pleasant tone) remind people of frequencies to
avoid during RTTY RU. Richw0elt
