[RTTY] [Bulk] ROS policeman on 14101

[Gary AL9A]

Per the information at http://www.ncdxf.org/beacon/beaconinterference.html 
the beacon folks are asking for a clear frequency from 14099.5 to 14100.5. 
They do recognize that someone trying to monitor the beacon with a SSB 
receiver with a 2.8 kHz bandwidth is still going to have a problem and 
recommend using the CW mode with a 500 Hz filter.  Duh!

Let's try another suggestion.  If you are trying to copy the beacons on a 
weekend and can't hear the CW signals due to the interference from 
contesting stations all over the world, THE BAND IS OPEN!

73,
Gary AL9A
