[RTTY] What is the sideband convention

[Marijan Miletic, S56A]

USB above 10 MHz and LSB bellow it is part of a long SSB history.

It is difficult for average todays ham to change it just for RTTY!

RTTY sub-bands are kept in the middle so no danger for USB space freq to
catch FCC attention.

P.S.  My old IC-735 has CW and RTTY as LSB as it should be!
