[CQ-Contest] RTTY RU Practice sessions ??????

[Bill Coleman]

Didn’t the ARRL file a proposal with the FCC to move the digital / phone demarcation on 80m up to around 3625? I wonder what ever happened to that. That would certainly ease congestion during RTTY contests without upsetting the CW ops too much.

For FT8, let's avoid the default "watering holes" - the following dial frequencies as recommended by Joe K1JT in the January 2019 QST** would be a good starting place: 3590, 7080, 14130, 21130, 28160.
