[RTTY] RTTY Interference to Hurricane Rita Ops

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

6 KHz, 10 Khz ... in either case it's more  than 10 times the 
bandwidth they need for CW.   Frankly, a CW net should not 
be operating in the middle of the Region 1/3 "RTTY band" 
during a large international RTTY event.  There is plenty 
of "RTTY free" spectrum available to all licensees between 
7090 and 7150.  

I have no sympathy for fools lacking an ounce of common sense. 
To demand that the whole world give them a QRM free frequency 
ten times wider than they need just adds to the legend of the 
"Ugly American." 

73,
