[RTTY] Makrothen - move it to a different weekend, please!

[Scott Nichols]

Strange...I was just thinking about how much QRM I was receiving from 
the SSB stations !

I agree Jim, 40 is already crowded, and hopefully the Makrothen will be 
rescheduled to not coincide with the ARRL DX SSB...It will just not work...

What really made me chuckle to myself is after an hour on 7.035 running 
RTTY, I heard the most gawd awful racket... I clicked on the LSB button 
only to hear a very prominent US "1" station op berating me for 
operating RTTY in the SSB portion of the band!! Scissors/Corn Flakes box 
came to mind........

Peaceful coexistence......

73, Scott VE1OP
