[RTTY] ROS

[johnn1jm at gmail.com]

Personally I'd tell them to go pound sand. Nobody owns a frequency. If there 
is no signal there, it's open game. For contests they can give it up for a 
weekend. They have Mon-Friday to do there thing. I suppose this is an old 
debate about this but it gets under my skin :-).

CU in the contest.
