[RTTY] 40M RTTY - Post 29 March 2009

[wa3frp at aol.com]

One of the agreements at the World Radio Conference WRC-03 in 2003 
moved broadcast stations out 7100-7200 kilohertz on 29 March 2009. 
After that date, 7100-7200 kilohertz will become a worldwide exclusive 
amateur allocation.

I haven't seen any discussions on how that will affect the 40M bandplan 
and where RTTY, especially RTTY DX will be "placed".  Will RTTY move to 
7070 - 7099 on a worldwide basis and away from the 7040 DX frequency 
that has been used for the past 40 to 50 years? Is now the time to 
discuss this topic and to organize an effort to get our voices heard?
