RTTY is in the ARRL band plan, but that doesn't mean we'll be accepted
very well there.

I've had the same experience several times. So much for the
"gentleman's band".

Although the "ditter" was undoubtedly displaying poor manners, Bill
and Jim's comments are appropriate to the situation.

So, who takes the blame? The ARRL for putting RTTY on 160 so low in
the band. We can solve our own problems by simply ignoring the band
plan and go to traditional frequencies from 1.8 up.
