Did anyone realize the ARRL's HF plans are 30 years old and predate
any of the new modes - like PSK31/63/125, JT64/JT9, MFSK8/16, Olivia,
etc.? Note the references to HF Packet and nothing about the
WINSTINK/CRAPTOR garbage generators.
There is far more up to date information elsewhere.

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 freque
ncies t
o avoid during RTTY RU. Richw0elt
