The lower .xxx are moderately confusing: .580 for 80m, .035 for 40m, 
.065 for 20m, .080 for 15m and .050 for 10m.  More PostIt notes to 
stick on my monitor I guess, until the numbers become second nature 
over time.

But, at least RTTY can go as low as 7035 kHz on 40m to catch the RTTY 
DX.  That is a relief.  That does not mean that the Mark frequency can 
be at 7035, though.

If the FCC makes this a rule change, will it finally force people to 
have to figure out where their RTTY mark/center frequency is and to 
know how broad an RTTY signal is?

21080 Mark will be out of band by this proposal, even if you know where 
your Mark is.  Before Riley starts cranking out warning letters by the 
ream, we probably should start elmering people.
