[RTTY] IS0R & 75 baud

[Scot, K9JY]

None of this will increase the rate...this time. 

But when will the "standard" baud rate ever get deemed as too slow? In the year 2525?

I'm sure it will tick a whole bunch of people off, but having DXpeditions work higher baud rates will perhaps get the mojo going to a higher baud rate as "standard." After all, machines are doing all the transmitting and translating; it isn't like a person needing to copy 100 wpm Morse code.
