[RTTY] 40 Meter RTTY

[Eric - VE3GSI]

Hi Julio and those interested,

It should be pointed out to our American Cousins, that Industry Canada (akin
to FCC) regulate only Bandwidth NOT MODE. On most HF bands that is 6 KHz
maximum bandwidth - anywhere on the band. Industry Canada does NOT regulate
any of the bands by mode. I think this bandwidth regulation by band is what
the FCC is leaning too as well. Though I believe the FCC are at least
limiting bandwidth to certain parts of the band. A much better idea then the
way IC does it. For more info on Canada regulations go here:

The band plan by mode is only by RAC's (akin to the ARRL) suggested band
plan and is modelled on IARU Region 1 HF Band Plan. See:

http://www.sk3bg.se/eiarur1.htm

It really would be great if at least Canada and the U.S.A could align the
bands later down the road.

I have my asbestos underwear on - flame away,
Eric - VE3GSI.

Even within region 2, the Canadian bandplan (see below) specifies 7035-7050
for digital modes. There is also a number of strong local SSB stations
between 7050-7100.

7.000 to 7.035 MHz - CW
7.035 to 7.050 MHz - Digital Modes
7.040 to 7.050 MHz - International packet
7.050 to 7.100 MHz - SSB
7.100 to 7.120 MHz - Packet within Region 2
7.120 to 7.150 MHz - CW
7.150 to 7.300 MHz - SSB and other wide band modes

73,
Julio VE3FH
