What's absurd is that we are apparently losing 115KHz of spectrum that 
we all regularly use for RTTY contacts on 40 and 80, including the 
ability to ever again have a simplex contact with a JA on 80 - and 
thus setting ourselves up for the absurd chaos of split operations 
that makes 40 phone such a joy (assuming of course that the DX cares 
to offer split).

Is anyone else planning to comment on the spectrum loss?
